RESOLUTION

Supporting the Republic of Kazakhstan's accession to the Abraham 
Accords, and for other purposes.

Whereas, on November 6, 2025, President Donald J. Trump of the United States, 
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, and President Kassym-Jomart 
Tokayev of the Republic of Kazakhstan announced an agreement for 
Kazakhstan to join the Abraham Accords, the first Central Asian country 
to join the Accords;
Whereas support for peace between Israel, its Arab neighbors, and Muslim-
majority countries has long-standing bipartisan support in Congress and 
among the American people;
Whereas the Abraham Accords offer strategic benefits for participating 
countries, including opportunities for mutual economic growth in 
important sectors such as investment, energy, agriculture, technology, 
civil aviation, foreign policy and diplomatic affairs, tourism, and 
culture;
Whereas, in 1992, Kazakhstan was among the former Soviet republics to establish 
diplomatic relations with Israel;
Whereas, in 2016, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Kazakhstan, 
marking the first official visit by an Israeli Prime Minister;
Whereas Kazakhstan has supported interfaith dialogue, hosting the Congress of 
Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in Astana since 2003, with 
Israeli religious leaders participating;
Whereas, in 2023, Kazakhstan opened a direct flight route between Almaty and Tel 
Aviv, facilitating tourism and business ties;
Whereas Kazakhstan's multivector foreign policy and its role as a bridge between 
Europe and Asia position it uniquely to advance regional stability 
through economic and cultural partnerships with Israel; and
Whereas this agreement could pave the way for more countries in the Middle East 
and beyond to join the Abraham Accords: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) welcomes the November 6, 2025, announcement regarding 
the Republic of Kazakhstan's anticipated accession to the 
Abraham Accords, enhancing ties between Israel and Kazakhstan;
(2) calls on the governments of the State of Israel and the 
Republic of Kazakhstan to encourage greater people-to-people 
ties in order to facilitate sustainability of the agreement;
(3) supports the efforts of the United States to expand and 
strengthen the Abraham Accords;
(4) urges other countries to normalize or deepen relations 
with Israel to bring peace and prosperity to the Middle East 
and neighboring regions, including by joining the Abraham 
Accords; and
(5) supports Israel's standing in the international 
community and its bilateral relationship with the United 
States, which serves to strengthen shared values and commitment 
to peace and prosperity.
