US President Trump has initiated an expansion of the Abraham Accords' Israeli-Arab normalization agreements, engaging in talks with Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia. The PA views this as a major threat to its ability to mobilize a unified Arab position against Israel.

Accordingly, instead of recognizing Israel's desire to expand peaceful relations, PA and Fatah officials misrepresent the Abraham Accords as an expression of Israel's alleged plan to "rule from the Euphrates River to the Nile River," as stated explicitly by senior Fatah official Abbas Zaki:

Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki: "If we recognize the Abrahamic Peace (i.e., the Abraham Accords), it means that the descendants of the [Jewish] settlers will say "We are the descendants of Abraham, and Abraham gave us the land." … Anyone who thinks that Israel only wants Palestine is mistaken. It [wants to rule] from the Euphrates River to the Nile River. "The new Middle East" that it talks about is one of the types of Israel's hegemony over the region."
