From the “Three No’s” to the Abraham Accords tells the remarkable, little-known story of how the aftermath of two devastating terrorist attacks became intertwined with a decades-long diplomatic transformation involving Sudan, the United States, and Israel.

Drawing on more than two decades of first-hand experience, Stuart H. Newberger takes readers inside the legal cases and diplomatic negotiations that followed the 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. As an attorney representing families of Americans killed in the Nairobi attack, Newberger participated in criminal and civil proceedings and later in diplomatic efforts involving Sudan and the United States.

The story unfolds against an extraordinary historical backdrop. In 1967, Khartoum hosted the Arab League summit associated with the famous “Three No’s”: no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, and no negotiations with Israel. Sudan later hosted Osama bin Laden and became deeply entangled in the regional conflicts surrounding terrorism and Islamist extremism. Decades later, Sudan agreed to move toward normalization with Israel as part of the broader Abraham Accords process.

Part legal drama, part diplomatic history, and part first-hand account, From the “Three No’s” to the Abraham Accords reveals a rarely told chapter in the history of the Middle East—and explores how the rule of law and diplomacy can reshape the aftermath of terrorism.
