Kazakhstan expected to join Trump's Abraham Accords during White House meeting: Reports

Kazakhstan leaders on Thursday are expected to announce that the country is joining President Donald Trump's Abraham Accords during a White House visit later in the day, U.S. officials have told multiple news outlets.

The Abraham Accords are bilateral agreements on Arab-Israeli normalization. The first agreements, between Israel and Bahrain and Israel and the United Arab Emirates, involved both diplomatic and economic matters. They were mediated by the United States and finalized in 2020. Other countries later joined the accords, such as Morocco and Sudan.

An unidentified U.S. official told Axios that bringing Kazakhstan into the accords is intended to help restore Israel's standing in the Arab and Muslim world, however Kazakhstan and Israel have had full diplomatic relations for more than 30 years.

"This is going to show that the Abraham Accords is a club that many countries want to be a member of and it will be a step for turning the page on the war in Gaza and moving forward towards more peace and cooperation in the region," the official said.

Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is expected to make the announcement on Thursday, and other countries, such as Syria and Saudi Arabia could follow suit. The leaders of both countries are expected to meet Trump later this month.
