Trump says expanded Abraham Accords should be part of Iran deal

President Donald Trump said he is “mandatorily requesting” that several Gulf States join the Abraham Accords, a landmark agreement between Israel and multiple Arab nations to establish relations, as a part of a broader deal with Iran to end the conflict.

The Trump administration is negotiating an end to the war in Iran, but there have not yet been any breakthroughs, despite apparent progress. Trump, on Monday morning, took to social media to post that “it should be mandatory” that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan, “at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords.”
