On the four-year anniversary of the Abraham Accords between Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain, Foreign Minister Israel Katz says that the country “is committed to expanding the circle of peace with other countries in the region.”
“Today we mark 4 years since the Abraham Accords, historic agreements that express a shared destiny that changed the Middle East for the better politically, in security, economically, socially and educationally,” Katz writes on X.
He says that the normalization agreements “made peace in the region a reality, shattered the historical illusion that peace and prosperity in the region are only possible under certain conditions, and proved that a shared vision and cooperation are the ways forward for a better future for the region.”
Despite the challenges, says Katz, “Israel will always be committed to continuing to work with its partners in the region in the hope of realizing the values of the Abraham Accords — and expanding the circle of peace with other countries in the region.”
