This bill focuses on teaching U.S. diplomats about the Abraham Accords and other peace deals with Israel. It authorizes the State Department to expand classes at the Foreign Service Institute and create online training about these agreements, including past peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, so staff understand the history, how they work, and what they mean for regional peace. It also allows fellowships for Foreign Service officers to work with schools, nonprofits, and regional groups in countries that are part of these agreements. Congress states that educating officials on these topics is important for U.S. efforts to support peace and stability, and that diplomats should learn about policies set in earlier law on Israel relations normalization.
The bill requires the State Department to set up a small, nonpartisan advisory board (four experts) to guide the training program, and to deliver a strategy within one year on how the training will be carried out. It also calls for yearly progress reports for four years on results and challenges.
