President Donald Trump said Monday that he asked Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan to join the Abraham Accords together as he tries to negotiate an agreement to end the war with Iran, tying a fragile ceasefire effort to a wider push for normalization with Israel.
Trump Links Iran Talks To Accords "I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords," Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that if Iran signs an agreement with him, it would be "an Honor" to include Tehran in what he called an "unparalleled World Coalition." He cited "all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together." Trump said he spoke Saturday with leaders of those countries, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which have already joined the accords.
The agreements, launched during Trump's first term, normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states.
Pakistan Rejects Normalization Proposal Reuters reported that Pakistan rejected the proposal.
None of the other countries has publicly responded, and a positive response appears unlikely as public anger toward Israel remains high across many Muslim-majority nations over the scale of its military offensive in Gaza.
