Congressman Hamadeh Works Across the Aisle to Introduce PEACE Act to Strengthen the Abraham Accords

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Abraham J. Hamadeh (AZ-08) is proud to reach across the aisle to work with Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) to introduce the Promoting Education on the Abraham Accords for Comprehensive Engagement (PEACE) Act, which will strengthen U.S. diplomatic engagement by institutionalizing training on the Abraham Accords and other normalization agreements at the U.S. State Department.

"As an advocate for the U.S. maintaining a strong leadership position in the Middle East, I am proud to join Rep. Brad Schneider in introducing the PEACE Act. This legislation will serve to strengthen our great nation's diplomatic engagement by institutionalizing pro-America, pro-Israel training on the Abraham Accords," said Congressman Hamadeh. "Our future diplomats must be equipped to advance regional cooperation instead of fashionable anti-normalization rhetoric, in order to bring long-term stability and security to the region. The fact that our bill has bipartisan support sends a clear message to friend and foe alike - the U.S. is committed to the peace and prosperity promised in President Trump’s Abraham Accords."

Congressman Hamadeh believes that the PEACE Act is vital to maintaining the United States’ leadership role in the Middle East while ensuring future diplomats are equipped to advance regional cooperation. Congressman Hamadeh is committed to shaping bipartisan foreign policy that provides long-term stability and security in the region. 

“The Abraham Accords have reshaped the Middle East, proving that peace with Israel is not only possible, but profoundly beneficial for the entire region,” said Congressman Schneider, Co-Chair and Co-Founder of the Abraham Accords Caucus. “As new opportunities emerge for cooperation—from economic development to security coordination—it’s vital that our diplomats understand both the promise and the complexity of these agreements. The PEACE Act will ensure the United States remains a committed, informed partner in advancing normalization, deepening ties with Israel, and expanding the circle of peace.”
