Since its founding in 1948, Israel has extended its hand in peace to its neighbors. Israel signed historic peace agreements with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco, joining Egypt and Jordan in paving the path to peace through recognition and engagement rather than prolonging the conflict by seeking to isolate and boycott the Jewish state.

These historic accords are made possible through a strong U.S.-Israel relationship cemented by decades of bipartisan congressional support for Israel’s security.

America can play a central role in helping create the conditions for a lasting peace—including a negotiated two-state agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.

A viable two-state agreement is only attainable if America’s support for Israel is ironclad, and the Jewish state knows it can take risks for peace because its ally and partner has its back.
