President Donald Trump called on Syrian President Ahmed al Sharaa to sign the Abraham Accords, a move that would have Syria recognize Israel’s sovereignty and would promote stability in the Middle East. 

The United States urged Syria to take the historic step of recognizing Israel’s statehood during a meeting between Trump and Sharaa in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, the second day of Trump’s trip to the Middle East. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was also present, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan joined remotely.
