White House to Announce New Country Joining Abraham Accords
The White House is set to reveal on Thursday that another nation will establish diplomatic relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords, according to Steve Witkoff, U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy.
Announcement Details
"I'm flying back to Washington tonight because we're going to announce, tonight, another country coming into the Abraham Accords," Witkoff stated at the America Business Forum in Miami.
Background on the Abraham Accords
During President Trump's first term, several Arab countries normalized relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords in 2020. This initiative has shifted regional dynamics by breaking a long-standing Arab consensus that recognition of Israel should only occur in exchange for peace process concessions.
Impact on Palestinians
The accords have intensified the isolation and weakened the position of the Palestinians, who have endured Israeli occupation for years. Many Palestinians view the agreements as a betrayal by Arab nations that had promised to support their independence and urged Israel to withdraw from territories occupied since 1948.
Summary
The upcoming announcement signifies continued expansion of the Abraham Accords, reshaping Middle East diplomacy while deepening divisions over the Palestinian issue.
