The Abraham Accords Defense Against Terror Act streamlines the approval process for selling military equipment and weapons to Middle Eastern and North African countries that have normalized relations with Israel and are working together on regional security. The Secretary of State will identify qualifying countries and expedite weapons sales to them while requiring the President to notify Congress at least 15 days before major sales occur, explaining how the weapons support U.S. policy against Iranian threats and protecting American technology from being acquired by China or Russia. The bill also requires the State Department to submit a detailed strategy every 60 days covering security threats from Iran, progress on military cooperation, delivery timelines for pending weapons sales over $25 million, and ways to speed up the approval process. The legislation applies specifically to countries engaged in the Abraham Accords framework and includes protections to ensure Israel maintains its military superiority in the region.
