Innovation as an engine for regional development

Strengthening and expanding the Abraham Accords in the fields of water, food and healthcare

A new publication by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Israel and the Misgav Institute presents a comprehensive review of the needs and challenges facing Abraham Accords countries (the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan) and Saudi Arabia in the fields of water, food and healthcare. Based on this analysis, the article by Noa Lazimi aims to assess the inherent potential of Israeli innovation in these fields, and to ascertain how Israel can leverage it in order to deepen collaborations – both bilaterally and within the framework of multilateral initiatives – in order to strengthen and expand the Abraham Accords.

Country Report with a Difference

Accessibility in International Comparison

People with disabilities are among the most marginalized groups when it comes to political participation. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that participation in political processes is an essential prerequisite for sustainable development - also, and especially, in the international work of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. To what extent do people with disabilities have the same opportunities for access as those without disabilities? What difficulties do they face, what barriers must be overcome? This publication presents research by several of our international offices on the current state of participation of people with disabilities. We hope these reports will help raise awareness of the inequalities that unfortunately still persist and motivate all of us to pay closer attention to the topic of inclusion.

Two years of war – where is Israel headed?

Israel two years after the Hamas attack

October 7, 2025 marks the second anniversary of Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel – the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust and a turning point in the history of the state. The attack led to the ongoing war in Gaza, Israel's longest war since its founding. Forty-eight hostages are still in the hands of Hamas, including seven Germans; around 20 of them are believed to still be alive. The fate of the hostages is emblematic of a society that, two years after the attack, has still not found a way back to normality. What impact has war and uncertainty left on Israel's politics, economy, and society?
