Trump says Kazakhstan has agreed to join Abraham Accords
US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Kazakhstan has agreed to join the Abraham Accords, a series of normalization deals between Israel and Muslim-majority countries originally promoted during his first term.
"Kazakhstan is the first Country of my Second Term to join the Abraham Accords, the first of many. This is a major step forward in building bridges across the World," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
"Today, more Nations are lining up to embrace Peace and Prosperity through my Abraham Accords. We will soon announce a Signing Ceremony to make it official, and there are many more Countries trying to join this club of strength. So much more to come in uniting Countries for Stability and Growth — Real progress, real results," he added.
The announcement came ahead of a White House dinner hosted by President Trump for Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and leaders of four other Central Asian nations. The meeting underscored the administration’s continued focus on expanding diplomatic ties across the Muslim world.
Background of the Abraham Accords
The Abraham Accords are agreements to normalize relations between Israel and several Muslim-majority nations. These deals were first signed during Trump’s initial term in office and include Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates.
With Kazakhstan joining, the accords take another step toward fostering dialogue and cooperation between Israel and the broader Islamic world, though the direct implications of this latest entry have not yet been fully detailed.
