Why are Arab states “normalizing” relations with Israel — a state that is redrawing the geography of the region through genocide, occupation, apartheid, and forever wars against anyone who stands in its way? In this article, I try to answer this question 👇

In this piece, @maricalc.bsky.social and I, discuss how to answer this question.
