Trump ‘mandatorily’ requests some countries to join Abraham Accords, hopes Tehran will become part of ‘unparalleled’ world coalition

US President Donald Trump said on Monday ​that he asked Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan to join the Abraham Accords en masse to normalize relations with ‌Israel, Reuters writes.

Pakistan rejected the proposal. None of the other countries has so far publicly reacted to Trump’s demand and a positive response was unlikely when the public mistrust of Israel in these Muslim nations remains high over the scale of its military offensive in Gaza.

Trump said he spoke on ​Saturday to leaders of those countries, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which have already signed the accords, a set ​of agreements to normalize relations with Israel.

“I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, ⁠if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be ​part of this unparalleled World Coalition,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
