Abraham Accords

ABRAHAM ACCORDS
ISRAEL 75TH ANNIVERSARY COIN
Legal Tender issued by the Bank of Israel

In 2020, the State of Israel signed four historic peace agreements with Arab States – the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. These moving moments are captured on the Israel 75th Anniversary Coin.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, named the agreements "The Abraham Accords", after the biblical Patriarch Abraham, who connects between the Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The Abraham Accords were signed on September 15, 2020, during a celebratory ceremony at the White House, by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Bahrain Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, and United States President Donald Trump.

For the State of Israel, the historic agreements presented endless opportunities, from increased economic activity, expanded trade and export, to the strengthening of tourism and strategic cooperation with the Arab states. For the countries that signed the agreements with Israel, there were also many advantages to be gained from the enhanced relationship, among them, numerous technological and economic benefits.  The agreements have also had a positive effect on the relations between Israel and other Arab states, and led to the opening of airspace over Arab states for Israeli civilian flights.

The Abraham Accords are a breakthrough for economic, technological and state cooperation, leading us towards a "new Middle East" and bringing hope for Israel, the Arab world and, indeed, the whole world.
