Abraham Accords Expansion Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill expands the duties of the U.S. Special Envoy who works on the Abraham Accords. This envoy will now focus on making peace and trade deals between Israel and countries in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
• The plan includes countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, and Georgia. It follows a 2025 move where Kazakhstan became the first Central Asian country to join these peace agreements.
• The bill lets the Special Envoy pick a deputy with expert knowledge of these specific regions. It also requires the envoy to work closely with the departments of Defense, Commerce, and Energy.
• This change is meant to improve U.S. national security and create new economic opportunities. It aims to build more stable relationships in parts of the world that are strategically important.
• The bill does not ask for any new taxpayer money. Instead, it requires the State Department to use the money and programs it already has to carry out these new tasks.
