‘It is the first country to do so in my second term’
Donald Trump announced that Kazakhstan, whose president he received this evening, is the first country of his second term to join the Abraham Accords between Israel and several predominantly Muslim countries.
The Central Asian republic has had diplomatic ties with Israel for decades, unlike the four Arab states that normalized relations with Tel Aviv under the original agreements signed during Trump’s first term.
“I just held a wonderful phone call between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. Kazakhstan is the first country in my second term to join the Abraham Accords, the first of many. This represents an important step in building bridges around the world,” the US president wrote in Truth. “Today,” Trump added, “more and more nations are preparing to embrace peace and prosperity through my Abraham Accords. Soon we will announce a signing ceremony to make it official, and there are many more countries seeking to join this club of strength. There will be much more in the process of uniting countries for stability and growth — real progress, real results. Blessed are the peacemakers!”
