- Trump posted on Truth Social on May 25, 2026, urging Muslim‑majority nations to normalise ties with Israel as part of a developing Iran‑Israel peace effort.
- Trump listed leaders of several countries he spoke with on May 23 about ending the war with Iran, noting the Abraham Accords.
- Abraham Accords—brokered by Trump in 2020—originally brought Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Kosovo and Sudan into diplomatic relations.
- Trump has been courting additional states such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan to join the Accords, though the outreach has encountered “significant hurdles.”
- NPR reported that Trump claims the United States and Iran are nearing a peace deal, while Pope Leo also weighed in on the diplomatic push.
Why it matters: Israel and prospective new signatories stand to gain diplomatic and economic ties, while Iran’s regional leverage may erode as the U.S. expands the Abraham Accords.
