On Thursday, officials confirmed to Fox News that Kazakhstan is poised to become a member of the Abraham Accords, further expanding the groundbreaking agreements.
Established in 2020, the Abraham Accords represent a significant diplomatic breakthrough, originally bringing together Israel with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco in formal normalization agreements.
In January 2021, Sudan signed a U.S.-facilitated Abraham Accords declaration, but political instability within the country has since stalled the establishment of formal diplomatic relations with Israel.
Speaking at the America Business Forum in Miami, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff revealed to Fox News’ chief political anchor Bret Baier that he plans to announce the inclusion of a new country in the accords upon his return to Washington, D.C. on Thursday night.

“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,” a U.S. official told Axios.

The outlet also reported that Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is expected to make the announcement during a meeting with President Donald Trump.
Trump had recently signaled that more nations may soon be joining the Abraham Accords, with Syria and Saudi Arabia at the forefront of efforts to expand the historic Israel-Arab normalization pact.
Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa is expected to meet with Trump at the White House next week, followed by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin-Salman on Nov. 18.
