It is arguably the case that momentous events are happening in the Middle East with regard to Israel’s position there. Put in sum, the political outcome of them is the transformation of Israel’s role from being the hated bogey man out of the system of Middle East regional relations to becoming a legitimate actor within this very system.
We often try to make sense of the world, particularly those parts of the world that are unfamiliar, by comparing them to the things more familiar, things we know something about. We say something is like something else, someone reminds us of someone else, that situation is not unlike one we have seen before in certain relevant respects.
The news is horrifying, at once completely unexpected and entirely expected. It is a report of yet another human rights abuse, one of now so many that we are lost in the count of all the tortures, the mass killings, the human degradations, the endless cruelties.
On July 30, 2020, when the iconic civil rights leader Representative John Lewis was laid to rest, his final message to the American people was conveyed in a letter published in the New York Times.

Please forgive couple of editorial and unintended mistakes.
The ISRAEL-UA -US dramatic announcement was actually not a well-kept secret, as speculation swirled for a long while, that ”something” was cooking up. Frequent not-so-secret visits of Head of Mossad in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, flights of Emirates Airlines to Tel Aviv, Israeli sportspeople competing in the UAE with Hatikva played there, and the Israeli flag raised.
