Can Tribal Leaders in Hebron Bring Peace with Israel?

HEBRON, WEST BANK, JUL 6 – Sheikhs propose Hebron secede from the Palestinian Authority and join the Abraham Accords, citing damage from Oslo Accords and seeking mutual recognition with Israel.

  • A group of five leading tribal figures from Hebron has submitted a letter proposing the establishment of an autonomous emirate that acknowledges Israel’s identity as a Jewish nation and seeks to join the Abraham Accords framework.
  • This initiative arose amid dissatisfaction with the Palestinian Authority, which the sheikhs label corrupt and accuse of incentivizing violence, contrasting with their call for local leadership and coexistence.
  • The proposal outlines a gradual plan for economic collaboration, beginning with 1,000 permits for workers from Hebron to enter Israel, with an eventual target of 50,000 permits, aiming to strengthen the local economy and promote peaceful cooperation.
  • The Jaabari family, prominent in Hebron, formally disavowed Wadih al-Jaabari's role in the initiative, emphasizing their commitment to Palestinian self-determination and rejecting the proposal's representation of their position.
  • The initiative highlights growing tensions between local Palestinian leaders and the long-standing political authorities, remains unaddressed officially by Israel, and may indicate evolving regional dynamics and new approaches to the peace process.
