New Country to Join Abraham Accords Normalization Deals with Israel
US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, has announced that another nation will formally become part of the Abraham Accords — a set of normalization agreements between Israel and several Muslim-majority countries.
"I'm flying back to Washington tonight because we're going to announce tonight, another country coming into the Abraham Accords,"
Witkoff made this statement at a business forum in Miami, Florida. He did not reveal which nation would be joining, but mentioned that the official announcement would take place later in the evening at an event in Washington, D.C.
President Trump is hosting leaders from five Central Asian nations — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan — at the White House the same evening. While it's not confirmed if the announcement will occur during that dinner, it is expected that the president will take part in any significant event related to the accords.
Background on the Abraham Accords
The Abraham Accords were initiated during Trump's first term and marked a major diplomatic breakthrough between Israel and the Muslim world. Four nations — Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates — have already joined the peace framework since its signing.
According to a report from Axios, the country set to join next is believed to be Kazakhstan, which has maintained diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992.
