U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., meets this coming week in Washington with diplomats of Middle East countries about Israel’s war with Hamas.

The meeting includes representatives from United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Kuwait — nations that participate in the “Abraham Accords” agreements recognizing Israel.
