What are the Abraham Accords?

• The Abraham Accords were a series of diplomatic and commercial agreements forged with U.S. influence between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco in 2020.
• President Trump has repeatedly said he wants to expand the accords he brokered during his first term in the White House.
• Trump on Thursday said the nuclear agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia remains contingent on the Saudis normalizing relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords.
• Saudi Arabia has long maintained that normalizing relations with Israel is conditional on clear progress toward a Palestinian state, a condition Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed. The country has yet to respond to Trump.
• The term "Abraham" carries significant religious and cultural weight, revered as a foundational figure across Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, and is often invoked to bridge interfaith divides.
