Trump Urges Muslim Nations to Join Abraham Accords as Part of Iran Peace Efforts
“After all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – US President Donald Trump on Monday called on Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East and beyond to normalize relations with Israel as part of what he described as an emerging peace deal with Iran.
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump said countries involved in the recent discussions with the United States should join the Abraham Accords, which were brokered during his first term in office.
“After all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote.
He said the countries discussed during the talks on Saturday included Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain. Trump noted that the UAE and Bahrain are already members of the accords.
The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, established diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab states and were widely viewed as a major foreign policy achievement for the Trump administration. However, the agreements remain controversial across much of the region because they do not directly address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Trump suggested that participation in a broader settlement with Iran should be tied to normalization with Israel.
“It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit,” he wrote. “If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.”
He also acknowledged that some countries may have reasons not to join the accords, saying such decisions would be accepted in certain cases.
