thats not what I say - it's what he says all throughout the bible. Nowhere in the Bible will you see god claiming to be the god of any other people than israel
Abraham is the ancestor of Israel. It's an ancestral myth and doesn't expand gods portfolio of people whatsoever. God clearly states many times throughout the bible that he only the god of israel and he clearly has a hateful, disdainful view of all the peoples and nations who are not israel.
"I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac" is the first that comes to mind. "God of Shem" and "God of Nahor" also come up. Nice try, thanks for playing.
Abraham Isaac and Jacob - all a precursor to Israel.
This Jewish ancestral myth doesn't incorporate anyone other than Israel. God says he is EXCLUSIVELY the god of israel and all us other nations and people can either serve his people, lick the dust off their feet, or perish
So you're a goalpost-mover too. You don't read the Bible as it was written, you read somebody who lies about the Bible. Jesus says whomever comes to him he will in no wise cast out, and he has made us kings and priests. "If you can find a better offer, take it!" (Ann Coulter).
Perhaps you attempt to belittle His title by only being the God of Israel? Then I'm saying it won't work.

He claims to be the God of Abraham too before Israel.

I disagree. I think He hates sin, Yahweh Saves!!!
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work (Job 37:7).
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? (Jer. 32:27).
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me (John 12:32, spoken to Greeks, verse 20).
Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all) (Acts 10:36).
