‘Seismic’ Implications of Abraham Accords Are Shared at JFNNJ FedTalk By Robert Isler | April 29, 2021
The April 25 Zoom presentation on the Abraham Accords, part of the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey’s FedTalk series, began with moderator Yehuda Kohn introducing Ze’ve Lavie, vice president of international relations for the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce and a key player in Israel’s economic diplomacy. Lavie launched into details about the accords, which were signed in August 2020.
During his presentation, Lavie emphasized that the peace agreement signed between Israel and several of its neighbors would not simply open the door to bilateral trade, but would lead to, in his words, “an earthquake.” Based on his detailed description of the Abraham Accords, his comment was no exaggeration.
