American media reported that Kazakhstan, which has had diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992, will be the next country to sign the Abraham Accords. The Central Asian country has an embassy in Tel Aviv, making its joining the accords a symbolic step, according to the ‘Times of Israel.’
American officials told U.S. media that ‘the announcement of Kazakhstan joining the Abraham Accords aims to enhance Israel’s position in the Arab and Islamic worlds after the Gaza War.’
The Abraham Accords include Arab and Islamic countries that normalized relations with Israel through the mediation of U.S. President Donald Trump at the end of his first term in 2020. These countries are the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.
The U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, announced today, Thursday, during a speech at the American Business Forum in Miami, Florida: ‘I will return to Washington this evening because we will announce tonight the joining of another country to the Abraham Accords.’
