Kazakhstan to Join Abraham Accords

The Government of Kazakhstan announced on Thursday its intention to join the Abraham Accords, ahead of a planned meeting between President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.

President Trump confirmed the move on Truth Social, calling Kazakhstan’s decision “a major step forward in building bridges across the world.” He also mentioned that a formal signing ceremony would take place soon to make their accession official.

By joining, Kazakhstan will become part of a group that includes the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, Israel, and the United States. This marks a significant diplomatic milestone as Kazakhstan is the first Central Asian country—and the only non-Middle Eastern or North African nation besides the United States—to participate in the Abraham Accords initiative.

This expansion broadens the Accords’ influence into Central Asia, demonstrating their increasing relevance beyond their initial geographic and political scope.

Kazakhstan’s accession is a strong declaration from a Muslim-majority country supporting peaceful normalization with Israel.

Author's summary: Kazakhstan’s decision to join the Abraham Accords highlights a groundbreaking diplomatic shift, extending the agreement’s influence into Central Asia and promoting peace and cooperation.
