Trump hopes Saudi Arabia will join Abraham Accords soon

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said he expects more countries to join the Abraham Accords soon and hopes that “Saudi Arabia will go in” to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel.

“I hope to see Saudi Arabia go in, and I hope to see others go in. I think when Saudi Arabia goes in, everybody goes in,” Trump said during an interview aired Friday on Fox Business Network.

He revealed that he had “some very good conversations” as recently as Wednesday with countries showing interest in joining the peace agreement. “I think that they’re going to all go in very soon,” he added.

The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020 during Trump’s first term, saw the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain establish ties with Israel. Later, Morocco and Sudan also joined the pact, marking a major diplomatic shift in the Middle East.

Earlier this week, Trump met Muslim and European leaders in Egypt to discuss the future of Gaza and presented his peace plan as a step toward broader regional stability.

He also suggested that even long-time rivals Iran and Israel could one day reach peace, saying to the Israeli parliament, “Wouldn’t it be nice?”

The interview aired on FBN’s “Mornings with Maria.”
