The Trump administration and the government of Israel, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have devised a Middle East peace plan without the involvement of Palestinian leaders, and have concluded agreements to normalize relations between Israel and a widening circle of Arab regimes -- the so-called "Abraham Accords." What are the prospects for this strategy? Can it succeed in breaking the deadlock in Middle East peacemaking? Or is it likely to exacerbate existing tensions between Israel and Palestine and throughout the region? Is lasting peace without Palestinian involvement possible? Looking ahead, should the Trump-Netanyahu plan be embraced by President-elect Biden? And what alternatives might he explore?
