President Donald Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, told CNBC that the historic Abraham Accords agreement may soon expand.
“One of the President’s key objectives is that the Abraham Accords be expanded, that more countries come into it, and we are working on that, in my team and in coordination with the Secretary of State and the entire State Department,” Witkoff said. “We think we’re going to have some pretty big announcements on countries that are now coming into the Abraham Peace Accords.”

Witkoff explained that the Trump administration is hoping for “normalization across an array of countries that maybe people would have never contemplated would come in.” He added that a possible expansion would be a “stabilizer in the Middle East.”
The Abraham Accords were a set of agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan in 2020. The accords declared that the countries “recognize the importance of maintaining and strengthening peace in the Middle East and around the world based on mutual understanding and coexistence, as well as respect for human dignity and freedom, including religious freedom,” and “encourage efforts to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue to advance a culture of peace among the three Abrahamic religions and all humanity.”
The Trump administration has previously highlighted its renewed push for an expansion in the accords, including the possibility of bringing in the countries of Lebanon and Syria. President Donald Trump has also suggested that Saudi Arabia join the Abraham Accords.

During a speech at the Saudi-US investment forum in Riyadh, Trump stated, “With the historic Abraham Accords that we’re so proud of, all the momentum was aimed at peace, aimed very successfully… It’s been an amazing thing, the Abraham Accords, and it’s my fervent hope, wish, and even my dream that Saudi Arabia — a place I have such respect for, especially over the last fairly short period of time, what you’ve been able to do — but will soon be joining the Abraham Accords.”
