Nides: Biden administration taking Abraham Accords ‘from start-up to real operation’

On 2nd anniversary of signing ceremony, US ambassador says Washington is working to deepen and broaden Israel’s normalization with Arab neighbors…In the early days of the Biden administration, there appeared to be some reluctance in Washington to embrace the Abraham Accords…Biden officials acknowledged that the Trump-brokered normalization agreements Israel signed with the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco in 2020 were positive developments for the region, but took little public action to advance the initiative in early 2021. Some senior US officials intentionally referred to them only as “normalization agreements,” rather than using the term coined by the previous administration.
