The opening event at Jerusalem's Museum of Tolerance, where the center is located, put details of the historic accords on display, including the agreements' economic aspects and potential initiatives on innovation.
Guest of honor included former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mrs. Sara Netanyahu, as well as numerous CEOs, entrepreneurs, and American, Israeli, and Arab government officials.
As part of the event, the center awarded its first Peace Through Strength award to Pompeo for his part in strengthening trilateral relations between the US, Israel, and Arab states.
The evening concluded with the world debut of the documentary film "Abraham Accords," a five-part creation that sheds like on the accords and the part played by former US President Donald Trump and Emirati Ambassador to the US Yousef al-Otaiba. The film is a co-production by Friedman and the TBN network and is slated to be released internationally in the fall.
