US-Israel-Arab ministerial forum delayed as Abraham Accords falter

The Abraham Accords, a deal between Israel and some Arab states, is struggling to establish itself economically and politically. The US is trying to expand the Accords to include Saudi Arabia, but the value of such a deal to Saudi Arabia is much less than it is for Israel and the US. The initial impetus for the deal was to form a regional alliance that brought Israel together with Gulf Arab states to confront Iran, but some Arab states are now shoring up their relationships with Iran. The recent cancellation of the Negev Forum by Morocco and Saudi Arabia's condemnation of Israel's actions in the West Bank are signs of trouble for the Accords.
