Trump presses countries to join Abraham Accords fold

President Trump urged countries involved in averting Middle East war to join the Abraham Accords, arguing the broad expansion of the agreement together with a potential deal on Iran could reshape the region.

In a lengthy statement on Truth Social, Trump at first gave a brief overview of ongoing negotiations with Tehran, calling it going smoothly.

"Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a great deal for all or no deal at all—back to the battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before—and nobody wants that!"

Then Mr. Trump wrote a list of regional leaders he held talks with in recent days on the situation of the region.

"During my discussions on Saturday with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani."

"And Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain."

After naming the leaders, Trump said in his efforts to end the war in the Middle East, the countries mentioned should join the Abraham Accords, first signed in 2020.

"I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these countries, at a minimum, simultaneously sign onto the Abraham Accords."

Hinting at political constraints, Trump admitted a few countries may not be able to normalize relations with Israel but added he had seen no problem in other countries for not doing so.

"Those countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (already a member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a member!)."

"It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this settlement with Iran a far more historic event than it would, otherwise, be."

Trump claimed the Abraham Accords have proven to be an economic and geopolitical success for member countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan, despite instability in the region.

The U.S. president also suggested Iran become part of the accords after the end of the war.

"In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, as soon as our document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords. Wow, now that would be something special!"

Trump concluded the post by stating, "I am asking my representatives to begin and successfully complete the process of signing these countries into the already historic Abraham Accords." Thank you for your attention to this matter!
