The Abraham Accords: Food Security Partnership as a Pathway to Regional Integration

Nowadays, food security constitutes one of the greatest challenges for the Abraham Accords Countries (AACs) (Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Kazakhstan), which face multiple dimensions of a food security crisis. This article analyzes the agricultural and food-related assets of these countries and highlights the major policies and strategies they are pursuing to address food security issues. It also examines the main challenges these countries experience in ensuring food security and explores the forms and aspects of food security cooperation between Israel and the other four signatory countries following the Abraham Accords. The article concludes by suggesting that a common food security policy, like the European Agricultural Policy, should be established to strengthen food security partnerships among the AACs and, consequently, promote regional integration in the Middle East and North Africa.
