NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the N7 Foundation convened a high-level roundtable, chaired by N7 Chairman Jeffrey M. Talpins, with U.S. Under Secretary of State Allison Hooker and her counterparts from the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Israel, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kingdom of Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates, to discuss the future of the Abraham Accords and opportunities to deepen regional cooperation. The N7 roundtable is the first meeting of the Accords countries since January 2023, and the first official engagement to include Kazakhstan. 

Officials reaffirmed the principles of the Abraham Accords and recognized that the Middle East's vast potential can be unlocked through coexistence, mutual understanding, and cooperation between Israel, its Arab and Muslim neighbors, the United States, and likeminded partners. Officials welcomed Kazakhstan's forthcoming ascension to the Accords and stressed the importance of tangible outcomes on shared priorities, noting that such cooperation can promote regional stability and security and provide a platform for peace and prosperity.

"The Abraham Accords have demonstrated what is possible when countries come together around shared interests with a common vision for a more integrated and prosperous region," said Mr. Jeffrey M. Talpins, Chairman & Founder of the N7 Foundation. "The next phase is about deepening the relationships that already exist and identifying practical opportunities for countries to work together. The N7 Foundation is committed to advancing this future and transforming the Abraham Accords into a forum for strategic, regional cooperation."

"The Abraham Accords have created a foundation for a more connected region, and their full potential will be realized through the practical cooperation they make possible," said Oren Eisner, President of the N7 Foundation. "Today's discussion focused on the work ahead: strengthening existing relationships, welcoming new partners, and advancing initiatives that deliver tangible benefits to people and economies across the region."

Building on its historic role hosting the first ever multilateral convening of the Accords countries in 2021, the N7 Foundation will continue to work with Accords countries and aligned partners to further develop the next chapter of the Accords, with an emphasis on deepening and expanding cooperation and transforming shared interests into concrete benefits for all members.  The N7 Foundation will explore durable mechanisms for strategic, multilateral cooperation that can elevate partnership through the Accords. This, we believe, can help cultivate a future for the region that is more stable, secure, integrated, prosperous, and interconnected with the world.
