What’s Happening

The probability that a new country join the Abraham Accords before 2027 stands at just 15%, reflecting deep diplomatic friction that has emerged more than five years after the original agreements were signed on September 15, 2020, between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain, with Morocco and Sudan later joining the framework. Kazakhstan formally became associated with the grouping in 2025, despite already maintaining ties with Israel, but that expansion has not translated into broader momentum. The core obstacle remains the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, which has alienated Gulf Arab states and the wider Muslim world, making any new normalization politically costly for prospective signatories [Times of India, May 27].

The push for expansion has become explicitly tied to ending the war with Iran, with President Trump introducing a new negotiating angle in May 2026 that any agreement should require several additional countries—including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan—to join the Abraham Accords as a condition of a broader ceasefire deal. Senator Lindsey Graham called such an expansion "beyond transformative for the region and world," while U.S. negotiators confirmed on May 25, 2026 that broad principles of an agreement with Iran have been reached. However, Iran condemned U.S. strikes as a show of "bad faith" just one day later, warning of consequences and casting doubt on whether the security environment will stabilize enough for diplomatic breakthroughs [CBS News, May 25] [Scripps News, May 26].

Looking ahead, the most concrete test case is Saudi Arabia, which the White House has made a condition for advancing a proposed U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear energy deal. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on July 23, 2026 that President Trump wants Riyadh to join the Abraham Accords before the nuclear agreement moves forward, though Saudi Arabia has not yet responded publicly. Adding another layer of complexity, former diplomat Ashok Sajjanhar suggested Turkey could join through a "give-and-take" arrangement, but noted that damage to critical energy infrastructure from the Strait of Hormuz closure—which began in early March—means global supply chains may not normalize until early 2027, potentially delaying any regional realignment. With the nuclear deal explicitly contingent on Saudi accession and no formal response from Riyadh, the window for a new country to join before 2027 remains narrow but not closed [New Republic, Jul 23] [Tribune India, May 27].
