Witkoff: US talking with a number of countries about joining the Abraham Accords
[IsraelTimes] US special envoy Steve Witkoff says, “We are negotiating multiple entries” of countries into the Abraham Accords.

Witkoff doesn’t specify which countries he is referring to, but he has been predicting such an expansion since at least May. The effort, however, appears to be hampered by the extension of the Gaza war.

In the meantime, the US is reportedly working to coax Azerbaijan, which already has ties with Israel, to enter the Abraham Accords. That push is an indication that the Trump administration is sufficing with more modest gains on the issue, as many of the potential candidates are demanding progress toward a two-state solution with the Palestinians, which Israel rejects.

Witkoff’s remarks are part of an over three hour public portion of the cabinet meeting during which members are going around the table one after the other updating Trump’s on their efforts, while primarily taking the time to praise the president.
