The Abraham Accords and the New Middle East: Is This for Real?
The Abraham Accords—Israel’s normalization agreements with the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan—represent a major shift in the region’s alliances. Having had a front-row seat to much of this process, Dan takes audiences on a journey to understand how these agreements came about, why they matter, and what they mean for the future. Are the Saudis next? And how do the Accords impact the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
