On the eve of the one-year anniversary of the accords, I am now just as thrilled as I was on September 15, 2020, when I sat on the White House lawn as a member of the Bahraini delegation.
The signing of the Abraham Accords will no doubt be one of the biggest Middle East milestones in our lifetime and as we celebrate its first anniversary, it is an opportunity to reflect on this auspicious time for the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the region more broadly. It is also the time to look forward to the limitless opportunities ahead of us.
As one of the few indigenous Jews in the Arabian Gulf, it is particularly meaningful to me. As a citizen of this region, I am filled with excitement to see the construction of a new Middle East, one focused on coexistence and prosperity.
I would like to thank His Majesty, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness, Prince Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for their leadership, vision, and courage to lead our nation proudly and boldly into the future through the signing of the Abraham Accords.
These Accords represent a promise that the leaders in the region have made to build a better life with security and opportunity for all of us and for future generations still to come.
As we approach the first anniversary of the Accords, I am just as excited now as I was when sitting on the White House lawn on September 15, 2020, as a member of Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani's delegation.
As we embark on a new era in the Bahrain – Israel relationship, it is important to remember that at the core of this agreement is the desire to create a new Middle East, one built on peace and prosperity for all. I believe that the growing partnerships between Bahrain and Israel, will lead to sustainable peace in the region.
