Trump Calls for More Nations to Join Abraham Accords in Iran Talks
President Trump urged additional Middle East countries to normalize relations with Israel as part of ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations. The move aims to extend a regional ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The HillPresident Trump on Monday urged Gulf allies to join the Abraham Accords as part of talks between the U.S. and Iran aimed at ending hostilities in the Middle East. The call came while the two nations work on an agreement to extend the existing ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, established diplomatic ties between Israel and several Arab states. President Trump said additional countries should follow the same path as part of any broader deal with Iran. The New York Times reported that the proposal forms one element of the current negotiations.
The Hill stated that the pressure on Gulf states coincides with efforts to stabilize shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz. Reopening the waterway would allow commercial traffic to resume after months of disruption. Officials have not released details on which countries are under consideration or the timeline for any new signings.
