Abraham Accords: Abraham Accord or Abraham Accord is an agreement signed between Israel and many other countries with the mediation of America in the year 2020. These days the Abraham Accords are once again in the news. The reason for this is that, some time ago, US President Donald Trump said that if the country does not support this initiative, it may affect the agreement with America.
The Abraham Accords were initiated to normalize diplomatic, economic and security relations between Israel and Arab countries. Countries like Israel, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan and Kazakhstan are included in this agreement.
