New Abrahamism. An Analytical Study of Intellectual Roots and Political Dimensions

Abstract

This research provides a critical analysis of the “New Abrahamism” project, emphasizing that it is not merely a call for interfaith dialogue, but rather an ideological-political project aimed at achieving specific strategic goals. The analysis clearly distinguishes between the term “Abrahamic religions” as an academic, descriptive concept, and “New Abrahamism” as an action plan that seeks to integrate Judaism, Christianity, and Islam into a common faith. This integration, according to the text, inevitably leads to the obliteration of the doctrinal and legislative specificities of each religion, most notably the comprehensiveness of Islamic law. To achieve its goals, the project uses soft power tools through linguistic engineering and attractive terms such as “spiritual diplomacy” and “the Abrahamic family house.” This humanitarian discourse is considered to conceal an agenda aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause by redefining the conflict from an occupation conflict to a religious dispute that can be resolved within the “Abrahamic family,” thus delegitimizing the resistance. The “Abraham Accords” are the direct political translation of this project, providing religious cover for a regional alliance that integrates Israel into the region, while completely ignoring it.
