President Trump Announces Kazakhstan to Join the Abraham Accords
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday that Kazakhstan, the largest nation in Central Asia, will officially join the Abraham Accords. The decision is considered mostly symbolic since Kazakhstan established diplomatic relations with Israel in 1992, shortly after gaining independence from the Soviet Union.
“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.”
Trump added that more countries are preparing to participate in the initiative, emphasizing peace and prosperity through global cooperation.
“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!”
While the inclusion of Kazakhstan broadens the scope of the agreement beyond the Middle East, it is seen as a symbolic gesture highlighting continued international engagement under the Abraham Accords framework.
