PEACE Act

The PEACE Act (HR 2609) requires U.S. diplomats to receive mandatory training on the Abraham Accords and other Middle East peace agreements. It directs the State Department to develop new courses and online modules about these agreements' history, implementation, and diplomatic impact for Foreign Service officers, with a bipartisan advisory board advising on curriculum. The bill also authorizes fellowships for diplomats to engage with partner countries in the region and mandates annual reports to Congress on training progress. This affects U.S. diplomats and State Department training programs, focusing solely on educational requirements without altering diplomatic policy.
