Abstract

After the fall of the Soviet Union, Israel and the United States of America have sought to advance Israel's agenda in the Muslim world and the ex-Soviet Space. While Israel and the United States have succeeded in subjugating the Palestinians at home, they have continued their war against Palestine even in the international arena. Part of the United States and Israel’s effort to isolate Palestine from the Muslim world were the Abraham Accords, which came after the US administration recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2017. These Accords, designed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and American President Donald Trump, aimed to create a coalition of 10 Arab Sunni states with Israel against Iran and its support for the Palestinian resistance. This article analyzes how the policies of ‘normalization’ of Israeli apartheid against the Palestinians have been implemented even in other parts of the world. The Balkans and Southeast Asia have been targeted by Israeli and US officials since the fall of the Soviet Union as well. This article investigates the ways which Zionists have used to turn the countries of Southeastern Europe into supporters of Israel against the Palestinians and how this process is facing problems in Southeast Asia, where Israel and the Americans use economic blackmail, sanctions, and even state terrorism to force the Muslim-majority countries of Nusantara to follow their dictates and isolate the Palestinians.
