US President Donald Trump calls for additional countries to sign the Abraham Accords as part of efforts to end the war with Iran, according to multiple reports. In a lengthy social media post, Trump says he discussed the issue with leaders of countries involved or considered in the broader diplomatic effort, following a conference call on Saturday. He argues that, given US efforts to broker a complex diplomatic process, countries should “simultaneously” sign on to the Abraham Accords.
The Abraham Accords are described as a framework for normalization of diplomatic relations between Israel and participating countries that previously had been hostile to it. The reports also note that analysts expect the proposal to face obstacles and describe it as unlikely to be adopted broadly.
While the accounts focus on Trump’s call for wider participation, they present it in the context of a broader, still-emerging approach to an Iran-related peace deal rather than a finalized agreement. None of the sources detail which specific countries are expected to sign beyond the reference to countries whose leaders Trump says he spoke with during the call.
