The panel will discuss the state-of-play in American politics, both within Congress and with the U.S. public, and how this informs U.S. efforts to advance peace and prosperity in the Middle East. Panelists will consider the prospects of an expansion of the Abraham Accords, opportunities for Congress to shape Middle East policy through security cooperation, economic partnerships, and more. The audience will leave with a clear sense of the political considerations and limitations driving U.S. policies toward the region and how lawmakers assess the challenges to peace in the region.
