New Country to Join Abraham Accords Normalization Deals with Israel

US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, announced on Thursday that another nation is set to become part of the Abraham Accords, a series of normalization agreements between Israel and Muslim-majority countries.

"I'm flying back to Washington tonight because we're going to announce tonight, another country coming into the Abraham Accords,"

— Steve Witkoff, speaking at a business forum in Miami, Florida.

Witkoff did not specify which country would be joining but confirmed that the formal announcement would take place Thursday evening during an event in Washington, D.C.

President Trump is scheduled to host the leaders of five Central Asian nations — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan — at the White House that same night. While it remains unclear whether the announcement will coincide with the dinner, Trump is expected to participate in any significant diplomatic event.

The Abraham Accords, initiated during Trump’s first term, established formal diplomatic ties between Israel and several Muslim-majority countries. So far, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates have joined the agreements.

According to Axios, the next country expected to sign the accords is Kazakhstan, which has maintained diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992.
