Pakistan rejected a push for Pakistan Abraham Accords after United States President Donald Trump urged several Muslim-majority countries to normalise relations with Israel.
Trump said on Truth Social that he had asked Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan to join the Abraham Accords as Washington pursued an agreement to end the war with Iran.
A Pakistani security source said Islamabad was under no compulsion to accept the demand. The source said Iran’s ceasefire diplomacy and recognition of Israel were “not interlinked and cannot be made so.”
Trump said he spoke on Saturday with leaders of those countries, along with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which already signed the accords. He said Iran could also be part of what he called a wider regional coalition if it reached an agreement with the United States.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan had not publicly responded to Trump’s demand. The Guardian reported that Iran also denied a US deal was imminent, despite some progress in talks.

Senator Lindsey Graham backed linking an Iran deal to a broader expansion of the Abraham Accords. Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group, said Trump was trying to sell an Iran deal as an “Abraham Accords sequel,” but questioned whether the approach could anchor a new Middle East order.
