Israel

The normalization agreement between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain has been long in coming and signals an important shift that we pray will lead to many more significant shifts toward peace.

The URJ praises the announcement of an historic peace deal that will lead to a full normalization of diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, known as the “Abraham Accords,” and hopes it will lead other countries in the region to follow suit and provide an opportunity for Israel and its Palestinian neighbors to return to the negotiating table.

We applaud the Israeli Supreme Court on its decision regarding the Sumarin family.
