Trump links Abraham Accords to any Iran deal

WASHINGTON, May 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he asked Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan to join the Abraham Accords en masse to normalize relations with Israel as he tries to ‌negotiate an agreement to end the war with Iran.

Pakistan rejected the proposal. None of the other countries has so far publicly reacted ‌to Trump's demand and a positive response was unlikely when the public mistrust of Israel in these Muslim nations remains high over the scale of its military offensive in Gaza.

Trump said ​he spoke on Saturday to leaders of those countries, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which have already signed the accords, a set of agreements to normalize relations with Israel.

"I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition," Trump wrote in a ‌post on Truth Social.

The verbal diarrhoea from The Rapist just muddies international relations more. We have no idea if he's just suggesting it, saying he's not going to complete any agreement with Iran unless these other countries sign up, or what. So we have to interpret it on past experience: someone reminded him of "the Abraham Accords", he thinks that's something he did, so he talks about it a bit, and will then forget because he's going senile.
