Israeli news outlet Channel 13 reported on Sunday that normalization agreements, known as "Abrahamic Accords", are deteriorating and that Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and fired Security Minister Yoav Gallant were warned about the situation in recent days.
Citing a security source, the channel added that "senior officials of the security establishment, including Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi himself, informed the political echelon of this dangerous situation" and warned them that “the enemies notice the situation in Israel, take advantage of this situation, and try to sabotage the development of these [normalization] agreements.”
These warnings were frequently conveyed in the recent period as the historic turmoil within the occupation entity deepened and the rift between political and social parties grew in the wake of the "judicial reforms" introduced by Netanyahu's government.
US Ambassador to "Israel", Daniel Shapiro, warned during Congress hearing that the normalization agreements with "Israel" are currently facing new challenges.
According to the Atlantic Council news site, Shapiro said the most prominent challenges are the relatively low support for normalization and its declining popularity, even in the UAE and Bahrain.
The decline of the momentum of the normalization accords can also be traced back to Iran's agreement with Saudi Arabia and talks with Bahrain to restore bilateral relations, the site added.

The Israeli entity is facing a deep unprecedented crisis that was labeled by its senior officials as "existential".
For the 12th consecutive week, hundreds of thousands of occupation settlers march the streets across the entity cities in protest against the judicial overhaul plan, as the number of demonstrators is significantly growing by the week.
The latest development that is expected to take matters to a new, unpredictable level is the sacking of Security Minister Yoav Gallant by Netanyahu on Sunday, over the formers' anti-judicial reforms remarks earlier.
Gallant demanded in a televised speech an immediate halt to the "judicial overhaul" legislation in order to hold talks with its opponents, warning of its serious repercussions on the Israeli military and security establishments.
