How the “Abraham Accords” Herald a new Era in the Middle East

Abstract

The article is devoted to a very interesting topic - the signif­icance of the "Abraham Accords" for the history and future of the Middle East.

At the initiative and efforts of former US President Donald Trump, Israel signed historic and important peace agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, known as the "Abraham Accords" in honor of Abraham, the Patriarch of the world’s three major mon­otheistic religions - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

After the conclusion of the 1979 Egypt-Israel and 1994 Jordan-Israel peace agreements, such an important and seemingly incredible story has probably never happened in the Middle East. The "Abraham Accords" are a conscious and determined decision by the three states to move from division to successful engagement. After that, Morocco established relations with Israel, the process of normalization began with Sudan.

Despite the outbreak of a new conflict between Israel and Ham­as, having temporarily hampered peace initiatives in the Middle East, the normalization of Israel's relations with other Arab countries will be an irreversible process.
