Kazakhstan to join Abraham Accords

This step is aimed at revitalizing the Abraham Accords as a platform for cooperation between Israel and the Arab and Muslim countries under the auspices of the United States, reports a Kazinform News Agency correspondent. 

According to the American outlet Axios, Kazakhstan and Israel have maintained diplomatic relations for over 30 years; however, the new agreement, according to Washington, will serve as a symbol of religious tolerance and interregional dialogue.

The White House notes that Kazakhstan’s accession will be the first step toward restoring international support for Israel after the war in the Gaza Strip. According to the U.S. official, the participation of new Muslim states in the accords “will help strengthen Israel’s legitimacy and become a step toward peace and cooperation in the region.”

The agreements on the normalization of relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco were a key diplomatic achievement of Trump’s first presidential term. Now, Washington seeks to expand the framework, emphasizing the development of regional cooperation and interfaith understanding.

The White House intends to give new momentum to the Abraham Accords ahead of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Washington on 18 November. Speaking at an economic conference in Miami, Trump addressed Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States, Princess Reema bint Bandar, and stressed that he would like to see Riyadh among the participants in the accords.

It should be recalled that the President of Kazakhstan arrived in Washington on Thursday )6 November) for a visit. The head of state will hold talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and will also take part in the C5+1 summit.

Kazakhstan and the United States have signed a memorandum on cooperation in the field of critical minerals.
