Atlantic Council and Jeffrey M. Talpins Foundation partner to launch Abraham Dialogues
Press Release
New project will build on normalization agreements to foster sustainable ties between Israel and Arab neighbors
Washington, DC—April 26, 2021—The Atlantic Council’s Middle East Programs today announced a major expansion of its programming on Israel and its growing ties with Arab and Muslim world, with generous support from the Jeffrey M. Talpins Foundation.
The recent normalization agreements between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco mark a transformational moment in the region. But for peace to truly succeed, it cannot be limited to the leaders who signed it or confined only to quiet meetings between security services. Peace must be broader, deeper, and warmer, cutting across the full range of civil and economic sectors, in order for it to be sustainable. Such an enduring peace will transcend personalities and set the stage for greater stability, connectivity, and prosperity across the region.
