The Trump administration will announce tonight that an additional country will join the Abraham Accords, US special envoy Steve Witkoff reveals.
“I’m flying back to Washington tonight because we’re going to announce another country coming into the Abraham Accords, ” Witkoff says during an on-stage interview at the America Business Forum in Miami.
Witkoff doesn’t reveal which country will be joining the Arab and Muslim countries that have normalized relations with Israel in the accords first brokered by US President Donald Trump at the end of his first term in 2020.
In August, Reuters reported that the Trump administration was eyeing Azerbaijan as the next country to join the Abraham Accords, along with other Central Asian allies of the US. Azerbaijan already has longstanding relations with Israel, meaning that an expansion of the accords to include them would largely be symbolic, focusing on strengthening ties in areas like trade and military cooperation, said the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
