This week marked the sixth anniversary of the Abraham Accords.
To mark this occasion, the UK Abraham Accords Group has produced a report exploring the status of economic, security, cultural relations between the signatories; the UK's role in the region; and the future of the Accords.
The report includes a foreword from @UKAbrahamAccord Chairman Sir @LiamFox.
Sir Liam Fox retweeted
In a meeting yesterday in New York, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, agreed on significant steps to further strengthen Israel-Morocco relations. Including:
🕊️ Upgrading diplomatic missions to embassies
🕊️ Appointing ambassadors
🕊️ Expanding direct flights
🕊️ Advancing investment agreements
This is a truly historic step, on the week we celebrate six years of the Abraham Accords, towards advancing relations between the two nations. 🇮🇱🇲🇦

On September 15, 2020, the State of Israel, the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain signed the Abraham Accords at the White House, opening a new chapter of regional integration, cooperation, and opportunity.
The bold leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has had a transformational impact on the region.
Six years on, relations between the countries have only deepened, with growing trade and investment, strengthening security cooperation, and people-to-people ties that would have been unimaginable a decade ago.
The UK Abraham Accords Group is proud to work alongside parliamentarians, diplomats, and partners across the region to advance normalisation and build a more stable, integrated Middle East. 🕊️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇦🇪🇧🇭
Six years ago today, the Abraham Accords were signed. They remain vital to the future security and prosperity of the Middle East.

Changing the law retrospectively is a very dangerous path for any government to follow. To criminalise what an individual believed to be legal behaviour at the time undermines the whole principle of the rule of law.
If the law is not clear, accessible and known in advance of any actions we take then we enter the realm of arbitrary justice which is the hallmark of dictators and tyrants.
The huge donations given to Reform UK raise genuine questions about whether we want to have a complete laissez faire approach to political fundraising or whether we want some restrictions at an individual, constituency or party level.
Do we want an American system where money is the dominant political influence or a nanny state which restricts our freedom to do what we want with our own money, or do we seek some equilibrium between the two?
This is a massively important debate for our democracy but knee jerk reactions designed to punish individual actions or parties create not only dangerous precedents but represent a frightening view of our potential future.

The British Civil Service has grown by around 100,000 employees since Covid to reach a total of over 557,000.
The total cost including salaries, pensions and national insurance cost between £25 and £28 billion annually.
Andy Burnham is proposing to increase the amount of government Britain has to fund and endure, while failing to meet the 3% GDP target for defence.
What a warped sense of priorities.

POLICY MEMO
Our latest policy memo explores the growing interconnection between European and Middle Eastern security, offering policy recommendations for countering Russia-Iran military links in the Caspian Sea👇
Putin launched a double drone attack on a shopping mall- first targeting civilians and then emergency workers going to their aid. Putin calls this “effective.”
Repugnant and morally bankrupt.
This is what the free world must oppose.

Replying to @karlspreis_ac
New cooperation in the Middle East: The Abraham Accords offer an important lesson: sustainable cooperation cannot simply be imposed from above. Peace needs practical, mutually beneficial cooperation from the ground up. @ArminLaschet @LiamFox @VAEAMBRDE
