The Abraham Accords, a series of agreements brokered by the Trump administration to normalize relations between Israel and various Arab states such as UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco, are to be reinforced by a new military exchange program under a bipartisan bill. The bill, which sees support from both Republicans and Democrats, aims to further encourage and secure diplomatic relations established in the Accords.
The program would see military personnel from the U.S., Israel, and Arab nations participating in the Abraham Accords attending exchange programs in each other’s military schools. This aims to foster a better understanding of each other’s military practices and to promote collaboration between the countries.
The bill puts forward the idea that such exchange programs would not just provide an opportunity for mutual professional growth and learning but also lay the groundwork for more robust and comprehensive alliances. At its core, the proposal aims to build on the diplomatic gains of the Abraham Accords, facilitating more solid, practical cooperation and understanding between participant countries.
