The Abraham Accords, which saw Arab states establish ties with the Israeli Occupation and angered Palestinian leaders, are "not a substitute" for progress on resolving the Palestinian-Israeli Occupation conflict, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday.

Speaking at an unprecedented meeting in the Naqab Desert attended by four Arab foreign ministers, Blinken said the gains brought about by the Abraham Accords "are not a substitute for progress between Palestinians and Israeli [occupiers]".
