The Abraham Accords are bilateral agreements on Arab-Israeli normalization signed between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain on September 15, 2020. The official signing ceremony for the first iteration of the Abraham Accords was hosted by the Trump administration at the White House. As part of the dual agreements, both the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain recognized Israels sovereignty, enabling the establishment of full diplomatic relations. The name of the Abraham Accords is rooted in the common belief of the Abrahamic religions — particularly Judaism, Christianity, and Islam — regarding the role of Abraham as a spiritual patriarch. The Accords aim to promote peace, mutual understanding, and coexistence, as well as respect for human dignity and freedom, including religious freedom. The Accords have led to new forms of cooperation in the Middle East and beyond, including expanded trade and commerce, deeper people-to-people ties, and a more integrated region. The Abraham Accords Peace Institute is an international, non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the implementation and expansion of the historic peace agreements known as the Abraham Accords.
