Kazakhstan announced it will join the so-called Abraham Accords, which normalized ties between the Zionist entity and several Arab countries, more than 33 years after establishing official diplomatic ties with ‘Israel’.
The announcement came on Thursday ahead of a meeting between United States President Donald Trump and the leaders of Central Asian countries.

“Our anticipated accession to the Abraham Accords represents a natural and logical continuation of Kazakhstan’s foreign policy course – grounded in dialogue, mutual respect, and regional stability,” Kazakhstan’s government said in a statement, according to the AFP news agency.
Trump said on Thursday that Kazakhstan will join the accords, after he announced that had held a call with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
“We will soon announce a Signing Ceremony to make it official, and there are many more Countries trying to join this club of STRENGTH,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Earlier in the day, US envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff had announced that another country would join the normalization deals without identifying it.
“Abraham Accords are big. I’m flying back to Washington tonight because we’re going to announce, tonight, another country coming into the Abraham Accords,” Witkoff said.
It is not clear how joining the accords will affect the already established Kazakh-Israeli ties. The two sides established diplomatic relations in 1992, shortly after Kazakhstan gained independence from the Soviet Union.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Kazakhstan in 2016, and the two countries have several bilateral agreements.
