Denver – Representatives from several Arab countries, the US, and Israel are expected to gather in a few weeks to commemorate the one year anniversary of the Abraham Accords.
Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States initially signed the deal in August of last year. Later, several countries including Morocco, Bahrain, Oman, and Sudan also joined the accords. The Abraham Accords were the first normalization accord between Israel and an Arab country since 1979.
The name of the deal originates from the shared worship of Abraham between the Muslim and Jewish signatories. After becoming a signatory to the agreement, Morocco received unequivocal support from the US in the Western Sahara dispute; it also revitalized diplomatic ties with Israel.
According to Israeli news sources, officials described as the “architects” of the agreement are expected to be in attendance during the anniversary event.
Among them are President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Avi Berkovitz, who served in the Trump administration as Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations. The report also revealed ambassadors from Morocco, the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Israel will also be in attendance.
Since the signing of what former US President Trump described as “the deal of the century,” Israel has reestablished several economic and political ties with its new regional partners, including Morocco.
In recent months, the two countries restarted commercial air travel, collaborated in combating the COVID-19 vaccine, and started business initiatives intended to support and nourish Morocco’s legacy of Jewish-Muslim coexistence.
