US President Donald Trump has urged Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, to formally normalise relations with Israel under the framework of the Abraham Accords.
In a social media post, Trump said the ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach a peace arrangement with Iran should be accompanied by a wider regional agreement, arguing that all involved countries should “simultaneously sign onto the Abraham Accords.”
The Abraham Accords, first brokered in 2020, established diplomatic normalisation between Israel and several Arab states, marking a significant shift in regional politics. However, the agreements remain controversial in many parts of the Middle East, particularly due to the unresolved Palestinian issue, which continues to shape public sentiment across the region.
Trump said the list of countries discussed in recent diplomatic consultations included Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain. He added that while some countries may have specific reservations, most should be willing to participate in what he described as a “historic” regional settlement.
He further stated that early participation by key regional powers such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar would be essential for the success of the broader agreement, warning that countries unwilling to join could be excluded from the process.
The statement comes amid intensified diplomatic activity linked to ongoing Iran-related negotiations and broader US efforts to reshape regional security arrangements in the Middle East.
