Kazakhstan Joins the Abraham Accords
United States President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Kazakhstan has agreed to join the Abraham Accords. This marks the first expansion of the Middle East peace framework during his second presidential term.
Although Kazakhstan already maintains strong relations with Israel, the decision highlights the Trump administration’s renewed effort to promote normalization between Israel and Muslim-majority nations.
“Kazakhstan is the first country of my Second Term to join the Abraham Accords, the first of many,”
Trump shared this statement on his Truth Social platform, adding that the step represents a significant move toward global cooperation.
“This is a major step forward in building bridges across the world.”
The President said a formal signing ceremony will be organized soon, stating:
“Many more countries are lining up to embrace peace and prosperity through my Abraham Accords. This is real progress, real results.”
The announcement came just hours before President Trump hosted Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and four other Central Asian leaders at a White House dinner. The event was part of a broader diplomatic outreach to strengthen U.S. influence in a region where China and Russia are expanding their presence.
Background on the Abraham Accords
Initiated in 2020 during Trump’s first term, the Abraham Accords established diplomatic and economic relations between Israel and several Arab or Muslim-majority countries: the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan.
Author’s summary: Kazakhstan’s entry into the Abraham Accords marks a symbolic yet significant moment in President Trump’s second-term diplomacy, extending peace efforts beyond the Middle East.
