The Abraham Accords — named after the biblical figure Abraham who is considered the founding father of Judaism, Christianity and Islam — were mediated by the US during President Donald Trump's first term (2017-2021) in office. They aim to normalize relations between Israel and various Arab and Muslim nations.
The Abraham Accords stipulate that signatory parties aim to foster peace and seek to engage in dialogue and cooperation in science, art, medicine and trade. The agreement, however, is short and remains rather vague, lacking any detailed measures.
Trump has now called on further countries to sign the Abraham Accords Declaration. His appeal comes as talks continue to on how to end the Iran war.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump named Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan as potential new signatories, though he admitted some countries may be hesitant to join. That said, Trump expects "most [states] should be ready, willing."
He continued to say Saudi Arabia and Qatar should sign immediately and claimed states refusing to join show "bad intention."
