House Foreign Affairs Chairman Mast hosts the first-ever forum with Abraham Accords ambassadors

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-Fla.) convened the first-ever congressional forum between committee members and the ambassadors of the Abraham Accords countries, The Jerusalem Post reports.

The roundtable at the Capitol brought together committee members with the ambassadors of Israel, the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco. Mast said the discussion "focused on strengthening regional cooperation, addressing challenges, and Congress's role in advancing the next chapter of the Abraham Accords."

Morocco's ambassador, Youssef Amrani, called it "a timely and engaging roundtable" and "a valuable opportunity to reaffirm the importance of dialogue and sustained diplomatic engagement in shaping a more peaceful and prosperous region."

Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) called the Accords "a historic peace deal to advance relations between Israel and multiple Arab countries" and said he looks forward to strengthening them.

The forum comes as the committee's makeup is set to change after the midterms, when Democrats take the House majority in January.
