U.S. President Donald Trump called on Türkiye and five other countries to join the Abraham Accords as part of a broader diplomatic initiative tied to ending the Iran war and expanding regional normalization with Israel.
U.S. President Donald Trump made a striking diplomatic move amid ongoing efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East. Trump announced that he had asked Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, and Jordan to collectively join the Abraham Accords, aimed at normalizing relations with Israel.
According to Reuters, the proposal is directly linked to negotiations surrounding the possible end of the ongoing war with Iran. The U.S. administration reportedly believes that expanding regional normalization could contribute to a broader political and security settlement in the Middle East.
Originally signed in 2020 between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain, the Abraham Accords later expanded to include Morocco and Sudan. However, analysts note that the ongoing Gaza conflict and strong public support for Palestine across the Muslim world continue to complicate efforts to broaden the agreement.
Countries such as Türkiye and Pakistan are viewed as particularly sensitive due to strong domestic support for the Palestinian cause. Reports indicate that Pakistan has already responded negatively to Trump’s proposal, while the remaining governments have yet to issue official statements.
The Trump administration’s attempt to link Iran ceasefire negotiations with the Abraham Accords is being interpreted by observers as part of a wider strategy to reshape the political balance of the Middle East through regional diplomacy and normalization initiatives.
