U.S. administrations have often tried to bring stability to the Middle East but this has usually meant pushing aside Palestinian rights. This goes back to the late 1960s and has included different leaders like in the Trump administration. They often put the interests of others ahead of what Palestinians wanted like with the Roger Plan and the Camp David Accords. These plans and similar ones were meant to bring peace but didn’t really address what Palestinians were asking for like self-rule and basic rights.
This way of trying to make peace by not really dealing with Palestinian problems continued with many leaders. The “Deal of the Century” by Trump is another example of this. It shows a pattern of caring more about stability than making sure Palestinians get their rights. The older attempts like the Roger Plans and Camp David Accords sort of said that pushing Palestinians to the side was okay if it meant things were more peaceful. It seems that making alliances and stability is seen as more important than what’s fair to Palestinians.
This history shows that American policy in the Middle East has a big problem they often don’t see Palestinian rights as important for lasting peace. They tend to focus on regional stability over what Palestinians need and their basic rights. This approach has meant trying to ignore Palestinian concerns in order to have a more stable region, but it hasn’t worked well long-term.
