Kazakhstan, which has had diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992, is the country set to be announced as the latest signatory to the Abraham Accords, the Axios news site reports.
The central Asian country has an embassy in Tel Aviv, so Kazakhstan’s joining the accords will be a symbolic move.
US officials tell Axios that the announcement aims to repair Israel’s standing in the Arab and Islamic world following the war in Gaza.
“This is going to show that the Abraham Accords is a club that many countries want to be a member of and it will be a step for turning the page on the war in Gaza and moving forward toward more peace and cooperation in the region,” an official says.
The accords include Arab and Muslim countries that have normalized relations with Israel, first brokered by US President Donald Trump at the end of his first term in 2020.
