Former US President Donald Trump has stated that expanding the Abraham Accords will be an 'absolute priority' if he is re-elected. In an interview with Al Arabiya, Trump emphasized the importance of Middle East peace and expressed his intention to include '12 to 15 countries' in the accords within a year if he had won the 2020 presidential election. The Abraham Accords, initially brokered during Trump's presidency, saw Bahrain and the UAE normalize relations with Israel. Trump believes that many countries are eager to join the accords, which he views as essential for peace in the Middle East. He also criticized the Biden-Harris administration for making no progress on Middle East peace since taking office.
