    The Abraham Accords, a major political breakthrough between Israel and the Muslim nations of the world, could also have wide-reaching economic impacts. Deeper economic integration could create 150,000 new jobs among Israel's current partners in the accords, and these benefits could grow to 4 million new jobs (and $1 trillion in new economic activity) over a decade, if the accords grow to include 11 nations, which some have speculated is possible

  • The Future of Israeli-Turkish Relations

    Shira EfronBOOKFuture of Israeli-Turkish Relations2018

    This report, which draws largely on Israeli and third-party views, examines economic, diplomatic, and security ties between Israel and Turkey and the possible futures of these ties. Israeli-Turkish relations remain contentious; the main conflicts relate to Iranian influence in Syria and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as demonstrated by the May 2018 diplomatic rift over the clashes in Gaza and the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem

  • Lessons from Israel's Wars in Gaza

    Raphaël Cohen, David Johnson et al.BOOK2017

    C Anthony, Daniel Egel et al.BOOK2015
