That includes our strong support for the Abraham Accords and the promise it holds for promoting security, peace, and prosperity in the Middle East. We are committed to building on the success of these historic agreements, helping encourage and deepen regional partnerships, and widening the circle of peace to new countries and for the benefit of all people of the region.”
