The two think tank signed a formal memorandum of understanding and cooperation on Oct. 6, 2020 and have since begun to flesh-out the research partnership.
The collaboration is expected to include the monitoring of radical Islam, Turkish encroachment, Iranian influence, and other regional crises, JISS said on its website.
"This focused policy-relevant cooperation is based on the vision of 'Abraham Accords' for a bright future of Arab-Israeli cooperation in the region," JISS Presidnt Professor Efraim Inbar said.
"We hope to develop robust policy recommendations for greater stability and better national security in the region, which we share," TRENDS head Dr. Mohammed Abdullah Al-Ali added. "Our common goal is solidifying the peace in the region."
