UAE Israel Peace 2020
By Robert G. Rabil
UAE Israel Peace 2020
Short presentation on the Israel-UAE Agreement. I argue that though the peace agreement is a byproduct of the desire to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict; nevertheless it was mainly driven by realpolitik far from the Arab-Israeli Conflict, and more specifically the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Building on Antonio Gramsci’s framework, this paper analyzes the hegemonic

It reinterprets the notion of a historic bloc not through the traditional Marxist
perspective of class hegemony, but rather through the prevalence of a resolute
Palestinian narrative.
