It's been six years since the Abraham Accords were signed and like so much in the Middle East, their impact and future are very much an open question. The agreements were originally aimed at normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab states. But analysts debate whether they have strengthened regional cooperation and security, or contributed to greater instability in the Middle East.
Welcome to Counterpoint, where we take one big question facing world leaders and look at it from opposing points of view.
In this episode, we’re asking: Has the Middle East benefitted from the Abraham Accords?
Arguing in favor is Steven A. Cook, senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, and a columnist at Foreign Policy.
Arguing against is Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy and a former foreign policy advisor to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders. He recently co-authored the piece “How the Abraham Accords Fueled a New Era of Conflict” with Zuri Linetsky.
Counterpoint is a production of Foreign Policy, in partnership with the Doha Forum. The show is hosted by FP deputy editor Nick Danforth.
