US President Donald Trump has renewed efforts to expand the Abraham Accords, urging several Muslim-majority and Arab nations to normalise ties with Israel as part of a broader regional settlement linked to ongoing negotiations with Iran. In a series of remarks, Trump called on countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkiye, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain to join the US-backed framework, while warning that failure to support the initiative could impact future relations with Washington.
The push has brought the Abraham Accords back into focus at a time when the Middle East remains deeply divided over the Gaza war, Iran tensions and the unresolved Palestinian issue.
