Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords Act
HR 3099 establishes a new Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords within the State Department, directly affecting U.S. diplomatic efforts and coordination. The envoy, appointed by the President with Senate confirmation, will coordinate U.S. government activities to expand diplomatic, economic, and security ties between Israel and Muslim-majority countries, including encouraging nations without formal relations with Israel to establish them. Key duties include strengthening existing Accords partnerships, fostering regional cooperation on issues like trade and water security, and providing diplomatic support for Israel’s regional engagement. The envoy must submit annual reports to Congress detailing specific diplomatic efforts and progress with partner countries.

MINOR
The reporting requirement for the Special Envoy on Abraham Accords expansion was expanded to include the House and Senate Appropriations Committees as additional recipients of the annual report. This gives budget-writing committees direct visibility into diplomatic progress, likely to inform future funding decisions.
ENFORCEMENT
The annual report from the Special Envoy must now also be submitted to the Committee on Appropriations of the House and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate, in addition to the existing recipients (House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations).
