2021 will mark 30 years to the Madrid Conference.
The conference was a historic turning point in which for the first time, Arab countries (except for Egypt that signed a peace agreement with Israel on 1979) agreed to negotiate with Israel.
THREAD >>

The conference, an attempt made by the international community to promote peace between Israel and the Arab world, launched a new era in the Middle East.
The negotiations between Israel and Jordan, that began in 1991 in Madrid, matured 3 years later into a full peace treaty >>

Negotiations for peace also began with Syria.
The negotiations with Syria continued alternately until the break of the Syrian civil war in 2011 >>

The negotiations with the PLO that began in Madrid, continued later in Washington end eventually evolved into the 1993 Oslo Accords >>

As a result of the Madrid Conference, the Soviet Union renewed diplomatic relations with Israel after 24 years of disconnect and later, Israel established formal ties also with China and India >>

Up to the 1991 Madrid Conference, Israel had diplomatic relations with 70 countries. By the end of the decade the number grew to 107.
As to 2020, Israel has formal relations with 174 countries.
>>

The circle of peace grew substantially since the 1991 conference with agreements achieved with Jordan (1994), the UAE (2020) and Bahrain (2020). Full relations are also en route with Sudan and Morocco and hopefully we’ll see more and more countries joining.
