    <description>On the White House lawn 09/15/2020, the peace agreements brokered by The United States Of America between Israel, The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain were signed. The peace agreements between the nations would be known as the Abraham Accords in homage to the biblical patriarch of both Jews and Muslims. The Accords have ushered in a new era for Israel and the Gulf Region, enabling diplomatic relations, trade, commerce, tourism, and cultural exchange. The Accords have the potential to impact the trajectory of the Middle East. The Abraham Accords podcast will your source of quality conversation for anyone interested in the region with weekly guests on a range of topics from all signatory nations. My name is Robert Curtis, and I will be co-hosting this podcast with Fleur Hassan Nahum, Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem and my co founder of the UAE Israel Business Council.</description>

Coming after the recent conflict with Hamas, tensions in Jerusalem and violence on the streets of Israel between Israeli Arabs and Jews, this was a timely conversation to hear about the success of co-existence. Kareem shares his stories growing up as the son of Ali Yahya, the first Israeli-Arab to serve the State of Israel as an Ambassador in Finland and Greece. Today, Kareem is the COO and co-founder of KSB United, a unique fund that focuses on truly game changing technologies that impact the world, for example a rapid COVID-19 cure that is close to coming to market and how he views Israel as an R &amp; D hub for the region. We discuss his perspectives as a young Israeli-Arab on the Abraham Accords and what this means for him professionally and personally. </p>]]>
