Trump Pushes Saudi Arabia to Join Abraham Accords

Former President Trump is pushing for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, aiming to bring stability to the Middle East. He believes Saudi Arabia will join soon due to shifting regional dynamics and a weakened Iran. Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House, expressing optimism about a quick agreement. However, internal assessments suggest a deal might not happen right away, as Saudi Arabia is unlikely to sign on soon due to opposition from King Salman and the Crown Prince himself. The Crown Prince might be more flexible, but a guaranteed path to a Palestinian state remains a condition for Saudi Arabia, something Israel strongly opposes. The best outcome for recent talks would be for Saudi Arabia to acknowledge Trumps plan as a starting point for Palestinian statehood, but ongoing devastation in Gaza and Israeli settler violence in the West Bank make it challenging for the Crown Prince to move forward with normalization.
