Three years after the October 7, 2023 attacks and the regional war that followed, an expanding network of activists, clergy and former officials has organised around a proposition: that the shared heritage of Jews, Christians and Muslims — their common descent, in religious tradition, from Abraham — can serve as a practical foundation for regional cooperation, in addition to existing diplomatic frameworks.

This initiative comprises three principal components. Its founder is Tom Wegner, an Israeli strategist and former government spokespersonAmazon ↗. Its organisational vehicle is the Abrahamic Movementabrahamic.org ↗. Its foundational text is Wegner’s book, The Abrahamic Revolution: A Middle Eastern Peace FormulaAmazon ↗, supplemented by a new multilingual series titled the Abrahamic Peace Codex.

This report examines each component in turn: the movement’s institutional structure, the publishing initiative intended to underpin it intellectually, and the founder’s stated vision.

Structure, chapters and institutional development

The Abrahamic Movement describes itself not as a single organisation but as a coordinated network — comprising local branches, dialogue forums, publications, delegations and grassroots projects — organised around the premise that Jews, Christians, Muslims and related minority communities, including Druze, Alawite and Samaritan populations, share a common spiritual lineage that can serve as a basis for cooperation. According to its official account, the movement developed from existing local Abrahamic initiatives across the Middle East, East Africa and South Asia, founded on the position that the Abraham Accords represented “only the beginning of a journey” requiring a broader narrative framework and sustained implementationabrahamic.org ↗.

The movement recorded several institutional developments in 2026. On 19 August, it formally launched an Interreligious Council, with Rabbi Dr. Yakov Nagen, head of the Jerusalem Interfaith Center, appointed as its inaugural Co-Chair; additional co-chairs are expected to be appointed from Islamic, Christian, Druze, Alawite and Samaritan traditionsabrahamic.org ↗. Shortly thereafter, the movement announced a strategic partnership with Salvator Mundi Global directed at translating dialogue into programming in education, youth engagement and public diplomacy, with the involvement of Sheikh Nabil Saad, among othersFFN archive ↗.

Several national chapters were also established during this period. In early August, Abrahamic Movement Canada was launched under the leadership of Ahmad Marouf, who has a mixed Alawite-Christian backgroundFFN archive ↗. This was followed by the establishment of a Czechia and Slovakia chapter, chaired by Jan Hamza Velicka, a Czech Muslim educated at Al-Azhar, with a mandate to foster dialogue among Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities in EuropeFFN archive ↗. A chapter in Cameroon, led by Ézéchiel Bambara Domsala in partnership with the African Abrahamic Movement, extended the network into Central Africa, in addition to previously reported activity in Israel’s Bedouin communities, Morocco, Nigeria, Somaliland, Syria, Gaza and Pakistanabrahamic.org ↗.

The Abrahamic movement introduces a new way of thinking — one that views peace not just as a political achievement, but as a moral and civilisational obligation. Junaid Qaiser, writing on The Blogs, The Times of Israel ↗

The movement cites earlier engagements as precedent for its approach, including a December 2025 delegation of thirteen Muslim leaders from North America, Pakistan and the UAE who visited Israel under the auspices of the American Muslim and Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council, and a First Abrahamic Conference held in Jaffa that convened representatives across the region’s religious traditions, as reported on The Times of Israel’s blog platformTimes of Israel ↗.

Observers have noted certain asymmetries inherent to the initiative: the movement’s founding and a substantial portion of its funding originate within Israeli and diaspora networks, and the extent to which it reflects broader regional consensus has not yet been independently established. The movement’s proponents maintain that its continued expansion — with new chapters established at intervals of several weeks throughout 2026 — constitutes evidence of the framework’s applicability beyond its founding circle.

The movement’s publishing and intellectual initiative

Where the Interreligious Council constitutes the movement’s institutional component, the Abrahamic Peace Codex is intended to serve as its intellectual counterpart. Described as a growing, multilingual series authored by regional intellectuals, the Codex is positioned as an alternative to frameworks that treat peace in the Middle East solely as a matter of security or diplomatic arrangementabrahamic.org ↗. It instead emphasises hospitality, justice, mutual recognition and human dignity, presented as values shared across the Abrahamic traditions rather than belonging to any single one.

The series forms part of a broader body of work associated with Wegner and his collaborators, including Unity of the Believers, co-authored with Palestinian Christian peace activist Elias Nasri Baboun, and The Cyrus Accords, co-authored with Iranian author Arash Hamedian and centred on the historical relationship between Israel and PersiaAmazon ↗. Publicly available detail regarding the Codex — including individual volume titles, named authors beyond the general description, and confirmed publication dates — remains limited as of late August 2026. The most complete information currently available appears on the movement’s official websiteabrahamic.org ↗ and in Wegner’s public statementsX/@tomweg ↗, rather than in an indexed catalogue.

This report notes that limitation for the record: in the absence of a published table of contents, the series is, at present, more accurately characterised as a stated initiative than a fully documented body of published work. Readers seeking to verify specific claims are advised to consult the volumes directly as they become available.

Background and the framework of “Political Abrahamism”

Wegner’s professional background informs the framework he has since developed. A former spokesperson for an Israeli prime minister and senior media adviser to a defence minister, he served during his military service as a liaison with Palestinian police, and subsequently held peace-building roles with the World Bank and the Peres Center for Peace — a trajectory that, by his own account, spanned both the security establishment and the diplomatic institutions intended to complement itAmazon ↗.

The Abrahamic Revolution, published in English in August–September 2025 and subsequently translated into Hebrew, Dutch, Indonesian and ArabicAmazon ↗, sets out this framework in detail. Its central argument holds that decades of Western-brokered peace initiatives, structured around separation and territorial division, have not succeeded, and that the war which began on October 7, 2023, represents, in Wegner’s assessment, confirmation of that assessmentAmazon ↗. The alternative he proposes is not a revised territorial arrangement but a shared identity — termed Political Abrahamism — which treats hospitality, justice and mutual respect as applicable political principles rather than solely as religious doctrine.

The book’s reception has been documented across several regions. It has generated commentary and interviews in Arab media outlets from Lebanon to Morocco, engagement from clergy and academics from Indonesia to Iraq, and, according to the Times of Israel blog platform, an Arabic edition for which reported interest extended to readers in Baghdad, Doha, Ramallah and BeirutTimes of Israel ↗. Early reader ratings on Amazon averaged approximately 4.6Amazon ↗. Wegner has additionally received a Global Books Award gold medal for related work, according to his publisher biographyAmazon ↗.

The broader question of whether a shared Abrahamic identity can translate into sustained political outcomes — as distinct from complementing existing normalisation frameworks — remains a subject of ongoing discussion among observers of the Abraham Accords process. Wegner’s position, as articulated in The Abrahamic Revolution and reflected in the movement’s activities, is that this question is to be addressed through continued dialogue and institutional development.

In summary: a manifesto published in the aftermath of a significant regional conflict has, within approximately one year, given rise to an affiliated movement with chapters across four continents, a newly established interreligious council, and an expanding publishing initiativeabrahamic.org ↗.
