Robert Greenway, one of the architects of the Abraham Accords, told viewers on The Ingraham Angle that the first phase of the new Israel-Hamas peace arrangement is only the beginning and that the Accords are poised to expand across the Middle East. His optimism reflects a clear conservative belief: when America leads with strength and firm diplomacy, peace and pragmatic alliances follow.
What unfolded in recent negotiations — a ceasefire and steps toward hostage releases and stabilization — shows that leverage and clarity of purpose produce results, not endless apologies and weakness from the Oval Office. The current discussions around rebuilding and a framework for Gaza, along with high-level meetings between U.S. and Israeli leaders, underscore a strategic window to broaden diplomatic ties.
Greenway’s track record matters: he helped broker the original Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states, and he now chairs the initiative at the Heritage Foundation to keep that momentum moving. Conservatives should recognize that these accords were not accidental goodwill gestures; they were the product of patient, results-driven American statecraft that prioritized national interest and regional stability.
If the Administration seizes this moment to push expansion, it will prove again that firm leadership, clear incentives, and accountability produce allies, not enemies. That’s the opposite of the failed approaches we saw when America signaled hesitation and moral equivalence — something Greenway and many national security experts have warned against. We need policies that reward partners and punish malign actors, not diplomatic hand-wringing.
Make no mistake: Iran and its proxies will try to exploit any lull, and Greenway has repeatedly emphasized that escalation must be met with clear consequences. The Abraham Accords’ expansion is not a naïve peace effort; it is a containment and isolation strategy for regimes that threaten our allies and our interests. Conservatives must demand that any expansion include hard security guarantees, intelligence sharing, and strict sanctions enforcement to ensure the gains endure.
For hardworking Americans who value security and prosperity, this moment offers a chance to back bold diplomacy that actually works. Support for an expanded Abraham Accords is patriotic policy — it strengthens Israel, builds economic ties, and undercuts the influence of terrorism and tyranny. Washington should act decisively, celebrate American leadership, and finish what architects like Robert Greenway helped start.
