What this bill would do

The "Abraham Accords Defense Against Terror Act" aims to increase security assistance to specific countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The Secretary of State is tasked with identifying countries that have normalized diplomatic relations with Israel and are working together to combat threats from Iran and its allies. Once identified, these countries can receive expedited approval for the sale, lease, or transfer of defense articles and services. The President must provide a certification to Congress at least 15 days before such transfers occur. Additionally, the Secretary of State must submit a regular strategy report to congressional committees regarding these security efforts.
