The PEACE Act directs the U.S. State Department to develop comprehensive education and training programs for diplomatic personnel on the Abraham Accords and other Middle East peace agreements normalizing relations with Israel. The bill authorizes the State Department to create new courses at the Foreign Service Institute, develop online training modules, and establish fellowships allowing diplomats to work with officials from Abraham Accords signatory countries and regional organizations. A four-member bipartisan advisory board, appointed by congressional leaders, will oversee curriculum development and provide recommendations to the department. The Secretary of State must submit a detailed implementation strategy to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment and provide annual progress reports for the following four years, with no specific funding amount identified in the legislation.
