New Country to Join Abraham Accords with Israel

A new nation is set to officially join the normalization agreements with Israel, known as the Abraham Accords, according to US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff.

“I'm flying back to Washington tonight because we're going to announce tonight, another country coming into the Abraham Accords,” said Steve Witkoff during a business forum in Miami, Florida.

Witkoff did not disclose which country would be joining but mentioned that the announcement would be made Thursday evening at an event in Washington. President Trump is scheduled to host the leaders of five Central Asian nations — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan — at the White House on the same night. It is not yet confirmed if the announcement will happen during this meeting.

The Abraham Accords represent normalization deals made between Israel and several Muslim-majority countries during President Trump’s first term. To date, four countries have formalized these agreements: Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates.

According to Axios, the new participant in the accords is expected to be Kazakhstan, which has maintained diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992.
