Several Hebron Sheikhs have just made an unprecedented offer: peace with Israel without the Palestinian Authority. Could this be the next chapter of the Abraham Accords or is it nothing but bluster?

Dan Diker, President of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, and Khaled Abu Toameh, renowned Arab affairs journalist and Senior Fellow at JCFA and Gatestone Institute, unpack a groundbreaking development: influential Hebron clan leaders, without the Palestinian Authority, have proposed a peace initiative directly with Israel.

In a move reported by the Wall Street Journal, Sheikh Adiyah Al-Jabari and other prominent clan figures from Hebron have publicly endorsed coexistence and commerce with Israel, bypassing the corruption-plagued Palestinian Authority. Diker and Abu Toameh analyze whether this “Hebron model” could mark the beginning of a post-PA, bottom-up peace structure based on traditional clan governance and economic cooperation.
