Abraham Accords Defense Cooperation Act of 2026

The Abraham Accords Defense Cooperation Act of 2026 would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a formal initiative to strengthen military ties between the United States and countries that have normalized relations with Israel. The proposal aims to create a unified defense strategy among signatories of the Abraham Accords—including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan—to better deter regional threats, specifically focusing on aggression from Iran and its proxies.

If enacted, the bill would authorize the Department of Defense to coordinate long-term regional projects such as joint air and naval exercises, shared intelligence and surveillance, and the development of special operations forces. It specifically emphasizes improving defenses against drones and ballistic missiles. The legislation also proposes a dedicated funding stream for these activities and encourages participating nations to provide matching funds to support the collective security arrangement.
