American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, today applauded House and Senate passage of the MARITIME Act and legislation to create a dedicated ambassador-rank Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords. Both included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24), these measures seek to curb Iran’s influence in the region, disrupt support for the regime’s terrorist proxies, and enhance Israel’s integration by employing a robust framework to expand regional cooperation.
