Abraham Accords Defense Cooperation Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to set up the United States-Abraham Accords Defense Cooperation Initiative to increase defense cooperation between the U.S. and the militaries of countries that signed the Abraham Accords or have sought to normalize relations with Israel since 2020. The initiative's goals include deterring aggression by Iran and its proxies and improving regional military planning in areas such as air and missile defense, counter-drone systems, intelligence, and joint exercises. Within 60 days of the bill becoming law, the Secretary would have to give the Armed Services Committees of Congress a strategy and an estimate of the funding needed. The bill also states Congress's view that participating countries should be asked to contribute matching funds.
