Hamadeh Introduces Bipartisan Bill to Strengthen Abraham Accords

Representatives Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) and Brad Schneider (D-IL) have introduced a bipartisan bill to strengthen the 2020 Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab countries.

Named the Promoting Education on the Abraham Accords for Comprehensive Engagement (PEACE) Act, Rep. Hamadeh's bill requires institutionalizing training on the Abraham Accords and other normalization agreements for future American diplomats to the Middle East.

"As an advocate for the U.S. maintaining a strong leadership position in the Middle East, I am proud to join Rep. Brad Schneider in introducing the PEACE Act. This legislation will serve to strengthen our great nation's diplomatic engagement by institutionalizing pro-America, pro-Israel training on the Abraham Accords," said Rep. Hamadeh in his press release, adding, "Our future diplomats must be equipped to advance regional cooperation instead of fashionable anti-normalization rhetoric, in order to bring long-term stability and security to the region. The fact that our bill has bipartisan support sends a clear message to friend and foe alike - the U.S. is committed to the peace and prosperity promised in President Trump's Abraham Accords."

Similarly, Rep. Schneider said, "The Abraham Accords have reshaped the Middle East, proving that peace with Israel is not only possible but profoundly beneficial for the entire region."

"As new opportunities emerge for cooperation—from economic development to security coordination—it's vital that our diplomats understand both the promise and the complexity of these agreements. The PEACE Act will ensure the United States remains a committed, informed partner in advancing normalization, deepening ties with Israel, and expanding the circle of peace," Rep. Schneider concluded.

Rep. Hamadeh previously spoke of the "opportunity" to be found in the December collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, precisely how it "seems like some people in the opposition say that they want to normalize relations with Israel."

"Now, if that's the case, that is going to be a huge seismic shift to have a country that has been at war with Israel for so long normalize ties with Israel," the Arizona Congressman previously said.
