A new nation is set to formally join the Abraham Accords, the series of normalization agreements with Israel, announced by US President Donald Trump’s special envoy.
Steve Witkoff, US Special Envoy to the Middle East, revealed the development on Thursday but did not disclose which country would join. He mentioned that the official announcement was planned for the evening at an event in Washington.
“I’m flying back to Washington tonight because we’re going to announce tonight, another country coming into the Abraham Accords,” Witkoff said during a business forum in Miami, Florida.
President Trump is expected to host leaders from five Central Asian nations — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan — for a meeting at the White House that same evening. While it is uncertain if the announcement will coincide with this gathering, the President’s presence at any major news regarding the Accords is highly likely.
The Abraham Accords consist of normalization agreements between Israel and multiple Muslim-majority countries, originally signed during President Trump’s first term.
