President Donald Trump has linked the ongoing negotiations to end the US-Israel war with Iran to a broader diplomatic initiative, demanding that several Arab and Muslim-majority nations—including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan—join the Abraham Accords, a set of U.S.-brokered agreements normalizing relations with Israel. In a series of Truth Social posts on May 25, 2026, Trump stated that participation in the Iran peace deal is contingent on joining the accords, warning that refusal would indicate 'bad intention' and exclude countries from the negotiations. He also suggested the possibility of Iran itself joining the accords, calling it 'something special'. Trump raised the issue during a phone call with regional leaders, which reportedly met with silence. The Abraham Accords, originally signed in 2020 by Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain, have since expanded to include Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan. While Egypt and Jordan have peace treaties with Israel, they have not formally joined. Analysts and officials express skepticism about the feasibility of Trump’s proposal, given regional sentiment and the unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
