Officials have confirmed that Kazakhstan is poised to become a part of the Abraham Accords, as reported by Fox News on Thursday.
Initiated in 2020, the Abraham Accords have already seen three nations—United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco—enter into formalized normalization agreements with Israel.
Although Sudan endorsed a U.S.-facilitated declaration for the Abraham Accords in January 2021, its efforts to solidify diplomatic ties with Israel have been hindered by domestic political turmoil.
Steve Witkoff, the U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, informed Fox News’ chief political anchor Bret Baier of his intention to return to Washington, D.C., on Thursday evening to announce the inclusion of another nation in the accords. Witkoff made this revelation during the America Business Forum in Miami.

“The expansion of the Abraham Accords demonstrates its appeal to many nations, marking a step forward in resolving the Gaza conflict and fostering increased peace and collaboration in the region,” a U.S. official conveyed to Axios.

The outlet also reported that Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is expected to make the announcement during a meeting with President Donald Trump.
Trump had recently signaled that more nations may soon be joining the Abraham Accords, with Syria and Saudi Arabia at the forefront of efforts to expand the historic Israel-Arab normalization pact.
Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa is expected to meet with Trump at the White House next week, followed by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin-Salman on Nov. 18.
