Ernst Commemorates Fifth Anniversary of Abraham Accords
WASHINGTON – In case you missed it, co-chair of the Senate Abraham Accords Caucus Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) joined Fox News’ Trey Gowdy to discuss the fifth anniversary of the historic Abraham Accords that ushered in unprecedented cooperation between Israel and Arab nations.
Ernst spoke about President Trump’s leadership on the world stage to unite the Middle East against the threat of Iran and bring all the hostages home.
“Five years ago, President Trump delivered the Abraham Accords and created unprecedented partnerships between Israel and Arab nations,” said Ernst. “Since then, I have worked to build upon these historic agreements to increase coordination and deter Iran-backed terror through my DEFEND and MARITIME Acts. Today, President Trump continues to work to unite the region against Iranian aggression and secure the release of ALL the hostages from Hamas.”
