What is The Abraham Accords Podcast?

On the White House lawn 09/15/2020, the peace agreements brokered by The United States Of America between Israel, The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain were signed. The peace agreements between the nations would be known as the Abraham Accords in homage to the biblical patriarch of both Jews and Muslims. The Accords have ushered in a new era for Israel and the Gulf Region, enabling diplomatic relations, trade, commerce, tourism, and cultural exchange. The Accords have the potential to impact the trajectory of the Middle East.
