During a recent phone call, US President Donald Trump urged leaders of several Arab and Muslim-majority countries to join the Abraham Accords, contingent upon resolving the ongoing conflict with Iran. The call included leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain, and aimed to foster a deal to end the Iran war. Trump expressed his expectation that countries without formal ties to Israel would join the accords if an agreement with Iran is reached. Some leaders, particularly from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, were reportedly surprised by the request, leading to an awkward silence during the call. Trump emphasized the importance of regional cooperation and even suggested that Iran could eventually join the accords. However, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has maintained that Israel must commit to a clear path toward a Palestinian state before any normalization can occur, a demand that Israel's current government has rejected. Senator Lindsey Graham endorsed Trump's proposal, viewing it as a significant opportunity for West Asia.
