Path to Greater Peace in Middle East Is Clear

The historic Abraham Accords, brokered by President Trump in 2020, opened the door to groundbreaking economic innovation and security cooperation between the U.S. and its Israeli and Arab Middle Eastern allies. The accords have weathered even the Hamas terror attack of October 7, 2023, which demonstrates that strengthening this new paradigm of peace is far more critical to American national security than resolving the Palestinian issue is.

President Trump’s return to the White House has created a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deepen and expand the circle of peace and cooperation. The U.S. and its regional partners must come together and forge a shared future of mutual security, economic growth, and global technological leadership.
