UKLFI Charitable Trust had a webinar on THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and Natasha Hausdorff on Tuesday, 10 February 2026.

  

Hamas documents indicate that a major objective of its attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 was to derail negotiations for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords between Israel and moderate Muslim states. Hamas leaders feared that these negotiations were about to reach a successful conclusion, that other Muslim states would follow the Saudis, and that the Palestinian cause would then be sidelined.

The ensuing war appears to have halted progress in the negotiations with Saudi Arabia, but agreements with the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have remained in force, while Kazakhstan and Somaliland have recently agreed to join the Accords.
