Is Israel’s response to Hamas attacks the reason that there’s no peace? That’s the position CNN host Fareed Zakaria seems to be taking.
A briefing compiled and sent out in Zakaria’s name asks whether “the Abraham Accords succeeded,
or have they failed miserably?” Four Arab nations have normalized relations with the Jewish state as part of the Trump administration-brokered accords.
Yet the briefing suggests that “Israel’s assault on Hamas positions in Gaza” is the reason why the conflict with the Palestinians remains unresolved.
As HonestReporting has repeatedly made clear, Hamas laid the groundwork for May’s conflict by inciting violence in Jerusalem and atop the Temple Mount.
Zakaria has a history of misrepresenting reality in the Middle East, earlier falsely accusing Israel of “killing the two state solution.”
