What once seemed unthinkable is now up for serious discussion: who will join the Abraham Accords next?
Host Doron Spielman (IDF Spokesperson (Res.)) answers one of the most urgent questions facing the Middle East today: With Iran’s nuclear program in ruins and its regional deterrence shattered, has the time come for a new wave of peace deals between Israel and the Arab and Muslim world?
Joining Doron is Alex Traiman, CEO of JNS and a leading authority on Israeli politics and U.S.-Israel relations. Together, they explore the dramatic aftermath of Israel’s precision strikes on Iran, the strategic coordination with the United States, and how those actions have altered the diplomatic chessboard. Could Saudi Arabia, Syria, or even Indonesia be next to normalize ties with Israel? Will economic incentives and shared threats from Iran push nations like Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, or Oman into the peace camp?
The conversation unpacks a geopolitical turning point: how Israel’s military success has reshaped its image in the region, not just as a military power, but as a reliable, moral and strategic partner. The episode also delves into the broader vision behind normalization: trade corridors, energy deals, security coordination and America’s shifting role in the region. With rumors of major announcements on the horizon and high-level meetings between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, this episode offers a compelling glimpse into what may be the next historic chapter in Middle East diplomacy.
