“The outcome of the November election will determine how Washington charts this course and manages the mixed legacy of the Abraham Accords, whose significance is evident even to Trump’s fiercest critics but whose shortcomings are now also clearer than ever.
“‘I think the Abraham Accords were incredibly important, but this disaster that we’re living through is a reminder that you cannot secure Israel simply through diplomatic work with Sunni nation-states,’ said Sen.
