The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, state:
On the other hand, the attempt to end the confrontation between the Arab states and Israel was successful. The Abraham Accords normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. The agreements consist of a general declaration alongside bilateral agreements between Israel and the partner countries. The agreements promised to establish normal relations between the countries.
The Abraham Accords were torpedoed on Saturday, October 7, 2023, when Hamas conducted a surprise land, sea, and air attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, leading to the deadliest day in Israel’s history, since its independence in 1948.
