About The Accords
The signing of the Abraham Accords ushered in a transformation in the relationship between Israel and the world’s Arab nations. With the United States’ strong bi-partisan support, over the course of four short months, between August and December 2020, four countries followed Egypt and Jordan’s bold leadership and moved to initiate the diplomatic process to normalize bilateral ties with Israel. In signing these agreements, the United States, the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel, shortly followed by Kosovo, Sudan, and Morocco, signaled a new era of warm peace and prosperity with unlimited economic opportunities.
The Accords provide the pathway to the end of the Arab-Israeli conflict and a future of peace, tolerance, and opportunity in the Middle East and around the world. They also represent a new regional chapter with a shared vision for economic prosperity. As commercial ties grow, so will the strength of the bonds between the countries and their people. With limitless opportunity, the Abraham Accords could create as much as 4 million new jobs and $1 trillion in new economic activity in the coming decade and in the near term helping the region recover from the global pandemic.
The Abraham Accords serve as the foundation for a peace process in the Middle East by demonstrating the tangible benefits of interpersonal ties, trade, commerce, and mutual cooperation. This effort seizes the historic opportunity to unleash the Middle East's potential, keep America safe, and help the region turn the page on a generation of conflict and instability toward a new era of multilateral cooperation.
The Institute
The Abraham Accords Peace Institute is a non-partisan, non-profit U.S. organization dedicated to supporting the implementation and expansion of these historic peace agreements. The mission of the Institute is to strengthen the new bonds created through the Abraham Accords and ensure that these relationships achieve their fullest potential.
The Accords’ first year success continues to highlight to potential future signatories not only the possibility of such advances, but also the necessity of such for their own economic prosperity and the stability of the region. The Institute is the primary platform for disseminating the progress made through the Accords and the development of new opportunities for growth by convening and leveraging both public and private sector entities and organizations for discussion, planning, and cooperation.
At the Abraham Accords Peace Institute, we encourage efforts to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue to advance a culture of peace among the three Abrahamic religions and all humanity.
We believe that the best way to address challenges is through cooperation and dialogue and that developing friendly relations among States advances the interests of lasting peace in the Middle East and around the world.
