You’re Invited: How peace was forged in the Middle East with Amb. David Friedman

Sponsored Advertisement *|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* [Click Here To Watch Trailer Now!]( Only a few short years ago, Israel was assailed as the world’s greatest pariah – isolated throughout the Middle East and beyond. But in 2020 and thanks to the signing of the Abraham Accords, Israel inked peace agreements with two Gulf Arab states: Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Since then, Israel normalized relations with a host of other Muslim-majority countries; including Sudan, Morocco and Kosovo. The Abraham Accords were in large part orchestrated by Ambassador David Friedman, the American envoy to Israel at the time. In his new book, Sledgehammer, How Breaking with the Past Brought Peace to the Middle East, Ambassador Friedman explains how contrary to the conventional wisdom espoused by seasoned Mideast diplomats, comprehensive peace with the Arab world didn’t require the Israelis and Palestinians to reconcile first. On Thursday, October 20 at 7:30pm EST, HonestReporting Canada launches our Annual Campaign by proudly hosting Ambassador David Friedman for a thought-provoking and incisive conversation. In our Insider Briefing webinar, Ambassador Friedman will share the inside story of how the Abraham Accords were forged, and what may lie ahead for relations between Israel and its Arab neighbours.
