A leaked phone call revealed that former President Donald Trump pressured Arab leaders to normalize relations with Israel as a prerequisite for his mediation in a peace deal with Iran concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Key leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt participated in the call, but were left speechless by Trump's demands. After a long silence, Trump questioned if they were still on the line, before concluding the call by announcing that his envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, would follow up on the Israel normalization discussions. The call comes amidst stalled negotiations between the US and Iran, particularly over Iran's uranium stockpile. Trump's push for normalization is part of his broader strategy to expand the Abraham Accords, which previously established relations between Israel and several Arab nations. Despite previous cooperation, Israel's standing has diminished among Arab states following the recent Gaza conflict, complicating potential agreements.
