Ofir Akunis

Israel's Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology

Moderator:

The Abraham Accords have significantly increased trade, cultural interaction, and tourism among Israel and its Arab neighbors. In addition to strengthening these ties within the Middle East, the accords could also help forge links between member states and other regions, such as Europe and Asia. What have the Abraham Accords achieved thus far? What work remains to be done? What role, if any, can the accords play in helping the United States and its allies compete with China?

To answer these questions, please join �� for a discussion with Israel's Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Ofir Akunis and Executive Director of the Abraham Accords Peace Institute Robert Greenway, moderated by Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East Director Michael Doran.
