Kareem Yahya, an Israeli-Arab businessman joins co-hosts Robert Curtis & Fleur Hassan-Nahoum on this episode of The Abraham Accords Podcast. Coming after the recent conflict with Hamas, tensions in Jerusalem and violence on the streets of Israel between Israeli Arabs and Jews, this was a timely conversation to hear about the success of co-existence.
