During a recent interview, former President Donald Trump stated that several nations have expressed interest in joining the Abraham Accords. These comments followed recent developments in the Middle East, including actions taken by Israel and the U.S. regarding Iran's nuclear program. Trump emphasized that Iran was a primary obstacle to regional stability and suggested that Iran itself could have benefited from joining the accords.
The Abraham Accords, which aimed to normalize relations between Israel and several Arab nations, were signed at the White House during Trump's first term. The former president highlighted the potential for further expansion of the accords, indicating that more countries could soon join.
White House officials have identified Syria as a nation the former president was keen to see join the accords. This interest was reportedly discussed during a meeting earlier in the year. Trump also mentioned that he had lifted sanctions on Syria at the request of other regional allies.
Experts have suggested that Syria and Lebanon are the most likely candidates to join the accords in the near future. One expert noted that Syria's new government has much to gain from seeking legitimacy and could be motivated to join.

Trump is just trying to take credit for something that won't ultimately happen. His legacy is filled with empty promises.
