ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal that it and several other Muslim-majority nations immediately sign the Abraham Accords to normalize relations with Israel, as public anger over Israel’s military offensive in Gaza remains high across the region, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
No other country named by Trump has publicly responded to the demand, and officials familiar with the matter said a positive response is unlikely given widespread mistrust of Israel among Muslim nations.
In a post Monday on Truth Social, Trump said he had spoken Saturday with leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, the latter two already signatories to the accords.
Trump said he was “mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords,” adding that if Iran signs an agreement with him to end the war, “it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition.”
