Trump says he wants all Middle Eastern countries to have formal Israel ties
Briefly

US President Donald Trump urged Middle Eastern nations to establish formal ties with Israel, linking this to the obliteration of Iran's nuclear capabilities. He emphasized the necessity of the Abraham Accords while the international community increasingly supports Palestinian statehood. Trump's assertion that Iran's nuclear arsenal was completely destroyed remains unsubstantiated. The normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia faces obstacles due to its commitment to the Arab Peace Initiative, which requires Palestinian state recognition, amidst ongoing Israeli actions in Gaza.
Trump emphasized the importance of Middle Eastern countries joining the Abraham Accords following the obliteration of Iran's nuclear arsenal, asserting this would guarantee peace in the region.
Despite assertions of a destroyed Iranian nuclear arsenal, the US administration has failed to provide evidence that Iran was weaponizing its nuclear program.
The push for normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel has faced significant backlash, particularly in light of Riyadh's commitment to the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, which prioritizes Palestinian state recognition.
With growing international support for a Palestinian state and condemnation of Israel's actions in Gaza, Trump's call for regional partnership seems increasingly controversial.
