Trump Reportedly Weighs Including Central Asia in Abraham Accords

U.S. President Donald Trump is considering the inclusion of Central Asian countries — including Kazakhstan — in the Abraham Accords, a series of agreements on cooperation between Israel and Islamic states, Orda.kz reports.
According to Reuters, citing five sources, Trump’s administration is actively exploring the possibility of adding new signatories to the accords. Azerbaijan is currently viewed as the top candidate.
The Abraham Accords, brokered by the U.S., began during Trump’s first term in 2020–2021, when four Muslim-majority countries agreed to normalize relations with Israel.
Reuters notes that Central Asian nations already maintain longstanding trade and diplomatic ties with Israel. If they were to join the accords, it would likely be a symbolic gesture aimed at increasing political pressure on Saudi Arabia.
Reuters claims that, as part of these discussions, Azerbaijani officials have reached out to counterparts in Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, to assess their interest in expanding the Abraham Accords. It remains unclear which other Central Asian states have been approached.
The U.S. State Department declined to name any specific countries Washington hopes to bring into the accords but confirmed that expanding the Abraham Accords remains a foreign policy priority for Trump.
