Washington – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has urged more Middle Eastern nations to join the Abraham Accords, emphasizing that broader participation is vital for achieving lasting peace in the region.
Speaking on his Truth Social platform, Trump reiterated that expanding the accords remains a priority for him. He claimed that Iran’s nuclear arsenal had been “completely obliterated,” a factor he said would make regional normalization easier.
Reports indicate that Trump’s team is exploring the inclusion of Azerbaijan and several Central Asian countries in the accords, aiming to strengthen trade, diplomatic, and security cooperation. These nations already maintain informal ties with Israel but have yet to formalize them under the agreement.
The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, initially brought together Israel, the UAE, Bahrain, and later Morocco and Sudan, in a U.S.-brokered normalization framework. Trump’s renewed push comes amid heightened tensions in Gaza, where over 60,000 people have been reported killed, and where the humanitarian crisis is drawing increased calls for Palestinian statehood recognition from countries including Canada, France, and the UK.
