President Trump has announced that Kazakhstan is set to become the newest nation to join the Abraham Accords, marking the first addition to the peace framework during his second term in office.
“Kazakhstan is the first Country of my Second Term to join the Abraham Accords, the first of many,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. “This is a major step forward in building bridges across the World.”
The Abraham Accords, initially signed in 2020 during Trump’s first administration, were designed to normalize diplomatic relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco have already formalized relations with Israel under the framework.
Trump’s announcement signals a revival of the diplomatic initiative that had been one of his administration’s key foreign policy achievements. “Today, more Nations are lining up to embrace Peace and Prosperity through my Abraham Accords,” he added.
The expansion of the Abraham Accords comes at a critical time for Middle East diplomacy. While the agreements have created new economic and security partnerships, they also represent a significant realignment in regional politics, with several Arab states moving toward formal recognition of Israel despite the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Kazakhstan, a Central Asian nation with a predominantly Muslim population of nearly 20 million, becomes the first non-Middle Eastern country to join the accords. The nation’s strategic location between Russia and China gives it significant geopolitical importance, particularly regarding energy resources and regional security.
“We will soon announce a Signing Ceremony to make it official, and there are many more Countries trying to join this club of STRENGTH,” Trump stated.
The president also indicated that Syria could be among the next countries to normalize relations with Israel. Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa is scheduled to meet with Trump at the White House next week, potentially signaling a dramatic shift in Syrian-Israeli relations after decades of hostility.
Perhaps most significantly, Saudi Arabia appears to be at the forefront of efforts to expand the historic normalization pact. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is slated to visit the White House on November 18, fueling speculation that the kingdom—the birthplace of Islam and custodian of its two holiest sites—might be moving closer to establishing formal ties with Israel.
Such a development would represent a seismic shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics and a major diplomatic victory for the Trump administration.
Sudan had previously signed a U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords declaration in January 2021, but those efforts have since stalled due to internal political unrest in the North African nation.
Foreign policy analysts note that expanding the Abraham Accords could create a more unified regional front against Iran while opening new economic opportunities through trade and investment. For Israel, these agreements provide diplomatic recognition and security partnerships without requiring concessions on Palestinian statehood.
“So much more to come in uniting Countries for Stability and Growth — Real progress, real results,” Trump concluded. “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!”
The White House is expected to provide additional details on Kazakhstan’s formal accession to the Abraham Accords in the coming days.
