Findings

Congress finds the following: (1) The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, established a historic framework for normalization of relations between Israel and several countries in the Middle East and North Africa. (2) Central Asia and the Caucasus are strategically significant regions with shared security, economic, and diplomatic interests relevant to the objectives of the Abraham Accords. (3) Expansion of normalization frameworks to these regions would advance the national security and economic interests of the United States. (4) Kazakhstan has demonstrated regional leadership by becoming the first country in Central Asia to join the Abraham Accords on November 6, 2025, thereby advancing normalization, economic cooperation, and shared interests in the region. (5) The Special Envoy should expand normalization efforts to additional regions, including the Indo-Pacific, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and beyond.
