A Year Since the Abraham Accords TJH Speaks with Dorian Barak, Co-Founder of the UAE-Israel Business Council BY SUSAN SCHWAMM The Abraham Accords became official a year ago, when, on August 13, 2020, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States issued a joint statement about normalizing relations between the UAE and the State of Israel. The Abraham Accords were record-breaking as they marked the first public normalization between an Arab country and Israel since 1994, when Jordan issued an agreement with Israel. Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco quickly followed suit in establishing relations with Israel. This week, we spoke with Dorian Barak, who co-founded the UAEIsrael Business Council with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum. Although born in the U.S., Barak lives in Israel. He has been doing business in the UAE for many years, spending much of his time there.
