Vance says Gaza deal to help build more alliances for Israel in Middle East
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday that the Gaza ceasefire brokered by Washington could pave the way for broader alliances for Israel in the Middle East.
"I think this Gaza deal is a critical piece of unlocking the Abraham Accords," Vance said at a press conference in Jerusalem, referring to the series of normalisation agreements between Israel and several Arab countries in 2020.
"But what it could allow is an alliance structure in the Middle East that perseveres, that endures, and that allows the good people in this region, the world, to step up and take ownership of their own backyard."

Vance is reassuring us that he is in no way willing to wander from the Trump line of cringing before Israel. By "good people" he doesn't mean the common people, the majority, the would-be voters. Is he a lawyer? He obviously doesn't believe that the thing that makes law sturdy is justice.
