President Trump Announces Kazakhstan Joining the Abraham Accords

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday that Kazakhstan, the largest country in Central Asia, will join the Abraham Accords. This announcement highlights Kazakhstan's participation in a growing peace initiative.

"I just held a great call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, of Israel, and President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, of Kazakhstan," Trump wrote. "Kazakhstan is the first Country of my Second Term to join the Abraham Accords, the first of many. This is a major step forward in building bridges across the World. Today, more Nations are lining up to embrace Peace and Prosperity through my Abraham Accords."

Trump added that a signing ceremony will be announced soon to formalize the agreement and noted that many more countries are seeking to join this alliance for stability and growth.

"We will soon announce a Signing Ceremony to make it official, and there are many more Countries trying to join this club of STRENGTH. So much more to come in uniting Countries for Stability and Growth — Real progress, real results. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!"

Symbolic Significance

The move is largely symbolic since Kazakhstan has maintained diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992, shortly after its independence was declared following the Soviet Union's breakup. Unlike the other Abraham Accord members—Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates—Kazakhstan is not a Middle Eastern country.
