President Donald Trump is calling on multiple Muslim-majority nations to join the Abraham Accords, a set of agreements aimed at promoting peace and cooperation in the Middle East.
The Accords, named after the common patriarch of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, seek to end radicalization, support science, art, and commerce, and give children a better future.
At their core, the Accords are about Arab nations formally recognizing Israel and establishing diplomatic ties with it.
The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain were the first to sign in 2020, followed by Morocco and Sudan.
Trump is now pushing for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan to join, but the response has been lukewarm, with Pakistan flatly rejecting the proposal.
The Accords are linked to Trump's ongoing Iran negotiations, with the President saying the talks are 'proceeding nicely'.
