Six years ago, the Abraham Accords changed the Middle East.
Today, they remain an anchor for the region’s future, building lasting partnerships, creating new opportunities and expanding the circle of peace.
Six years on, the future is just beginning.

As the British government considers forcing British companies to boycott portions of Israel, it should be aware that a Florida law that I passed as a member of the Legislature would ban any British company forced to comply from doing business with any state or local government in Florida.
It would also end any British business participating in that boycott from doing any business in Florida if it needed any official interaction with state or local government to operate (permits, tax collection).
Florida is one of Britain’s largest trading partners. They should understand that their vanity project in support of Muslim terror could cost them billions of dollars.
And for those who doubt the power of this policy, it was this same law that broke Airbnb’s misguided effort to boycott portions of Israel in 2019. They realized that this law would have bankrupted their company.
Florida has made it clear. Any company — or nation — that boycotts Israel is boycotted by Florida.

The 6th anniversary of the Abraham Accords, forged by your team under President Trump’s leadership, is an important milestone for peace in the Middle East.
It is a moment to reflect on the remarkable partnerships that we have built across our region.
It is also a moment to look to the future and chart the road ahead together.
I firmly believe that this is just the beginning. Now is the time for us all to work to expand this circle of peace across the Middle East to the benefit of all our peoples.
Six years ago, President Trump launched the Abraham Accords and opened a new chapter of peace, partnership, and prosperity in the Middle East.
Many said it was impossible. But with courageous leadership, persistence, and a small group of people willing to challenge old assumptions, we proved that the impossible could be achieved.
For too long, the region was trapped by old ideas and failed frameworks that managed conflict rather than solved it, and too often created incentives that perpetuated division and instability.
The idea behind the Abraham Accords was simple: instead of reinforcing the things that divide people, build bonds that bring them together. Increase understanding. Expand trade and investment. Deepen security cooperation. Create tangible benefits that make people’s lives better and give everyone a stake in peace.
What began as a bold vision has delivered billions in trade, joint innovation, new friendships and partnerships, and a powerful alternative to the failed approaches of the past.
The Middle East is once again at an inflection point. There are breakthrough opportunities today that many will say are impossible. But we have seen what can happen when leaders reject conventional thinking, focus on common interests, and have the courage to pursue a better future.
The Abraham Accords showed that a different path is possible. Now we have an opportunity to build an even broader movement around cooperation, shared prosperity and security—and replace the failed ideas of the past with a new model that gives people across the region something better to believe in and build toward.
We surprised the world once. With the right leadership, focus, patience and courage, I believe we can do it again.

What does it mean to build the next generation of Israeli leaders? 🇮🇱
Meet Shadi, an Israeli Maronite Christian and the founder of Mechinat Kinneret, on the shores of Lake Galilee, a gap year leadership program that brings together Jewish and Christian Israelis before their military service. Throughout the year, they study, hike, volunteer, and explore the country together, building friendships while preparing to serve and lead.
Shadi believes that Israel is the country in the region where Christians enjoy true freedom to live and practice their faith. That's why, he says, they have a responsibility to protect it. For Shadi, it's about shaping the future of Israel, the place he calls home, one generation at a time.

Did you know?
Today, Christians around the world commemorate Saint Mary Magdalene.
Her name means “Mary of Migdal” A Jewish town that still exists in today's Israel.
Today, Migdal, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee is a prosperous agricultural Jewish village, just like it was 2,000 years ago!

Israel welcomes the joint statement by 22 nations exposing the Iranian regime’s lethal plotting and terrorist activities from Europe to Australia to North America.
The Iranian regime spreads terror and violence wherever it can. This is its core nature and essence.
It is the number one threat to global security and world order, and the international community must confront this threat together.

❗️ Hezbollah launched mortar shells that hit a UNIFIL position and killed a UN personnel member in southern Lebanon
Overnight, Hezbollah launched several mortar shells that landed inside a UNIFIL force position in the Dibbine area in southern Lebanon—killing a UN personnel member and injuring two others.
An examination of the launch trajectory clearly indicates that the fire was carried out by the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

How come Jews make up less than 1% of Canada’s population, yet suffer 70% of its religious hate crimes?
In 2025 alone, Canada recorded 6,800 antisemitic incidents. That's 20 a day!
And while the incidents keep adding up, the incitement continues.
Canada’s government has failed to protect its Jewish community.
The time to ban incitement is now.

Recently, we have observed voices attempting to frame Israeli investments and presence in Cyprus in a negative and threatening light.
The relationship between Israel and Cyprus is built on a foundation of shared values, mutual respect, and a strong friendship.
This friendship has evolved into a deep human connection. Thousands of families, entrepreneurs, and professionals from Israel have chosen Cyprus as their second home out of a sincere love and appreciation for the island and its culture.
The use of rhetoric that singles out a specific nationality, questions the legitimacy of a law-abiding community, and employs charged terms like 'takeover' or 'uncontrolled influence' is deeply concerning.
When political discourse utilizes age-old stereotypes regarding 'foreign economic power' to incite fear, it enters dangerous territory. Such rhetoric, which targets the Jewish people and its state by echoing historical and harmful myths of economic dominance, fuels antisemitism.
Targeting a specific community that contributes significantly to the Cypriot economy and social fabric is not only baseless but carries an undertone of prejudice that should have no place in a modern, democratic European nation.
The Israeli community in Cyprus is not a closed one. They are parents whose children attend local schools; entrepreneurs creating jobs for Cypriots; and neighbors who are deeply invested in the island's prosperity.
To mischaracterize this economic and social integration as a form of 'dependency' is a distortion of the reality of a free and globalized market.
I call upon political leaders, influencers, and the public in Cyprus to reject inflammatory and divisive language. We must not allow populism to dictate the tone. It is our collective responsibility to foster an environment that welcomes all who choose to live and invest in the island, regardless of their nationality or background.
Israel remains a steadfast partner of Cyprus. We will continue to work together to ensure that our bilateral ties are defined by facts, cooperation, and friendship; not by fear or exclusion.

As published by the Board of Peace and the U.S. State Department, the humanitarian activity in the Gaza Strip is managed by the BoP, and this Hamas-led-flotilla is another provocation designed to divert attention from Hamas’s refusal to disarm - and to serve the PR interests of professional provocateurs.
The Greek government agreed that the flotilla activists would be disembarked on its shores, and we thank it for that.
Saif Abu Keshek, suspected of affiliation with a terrorist organization and Thiago Ávila suspected of illegal activity, will be brought to Israel for questioning.
Israel will not allow the breach of the lawful naval blockade on Gaza.

The mullah regime is weaponizing sexual violence against Iranian women. They rape, beat, and silence women to terrorize an entire nation.
Where is the outrage of the world?

My dream is to get into a car and drive straight to Beirut, visit that beautiful city, and befriend the good people of Lebanon.
I shared this message of hope and peace with ambassadors, diplomats, military attachés, and faith leaders as we celebrated Israel’s 78th Independence Day at the President’s Residence today.
