President Donald Trump is entirely right to challenge six Muslim nations that want to be part of the Iran peace deal to also join the Abraham Accords, normalizing relations with Israel: It’s the obvious, best way to ensure peace and prosperity for each of them, and for all.
He made the point in a call with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey and Jordan (as well as of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, already accord members).
As he explained Monday on Truth Social, “After all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords.”
It’s a no-brainer: If you really want a lasting Iran deal, you should have no objection to recognizing and accepting Israel — which has been crucial to getting the region to this point, neutralizing the threat Tehran poses to all its neighbors.
Attempting to destroy Israel has brought defeat and disaster to every nation that tried; normalizing relations with Jerusalem has proved a boon to every country that signed the accords.
Israeli-UAE trade has more than doubled in the accords’ first five years, for example, while tourism skyrocketed.
And obsessing with the Jewish state has poisoned the internal peace of much of the Muslim world, diverting energy from building a better future to a futile cause that would help no one even if it triumphed.
Thanks in good part to the deranged diplomacy of the Biden years, the Saudis and others have said they want a Palestinian state realized before they’d join the accords, but this is just another front where Trump’s had to clean up after the last guy.
Achieving a broader Mideast peace is by far the best way to eject Iranian catspaws like Hamas, so that Gaza can flourish, and the West Bank, too.

Yes, getting to an Iran deal that truly ends Tehran’s nuclear threat remains beyond tricky — but if the Turks, Qataris and so on really want to be a part of it, then they need to step up and join in securing a regional alliance that genuinely secures that future themselves.
They don’t need to rely on Washington for that, nor should they: Allying now can protect them all should some future Democratic US president try to revive the deluded Obama policy of favoring Tehran over Israel and the Sunni Arab powers.
On one level, of course, the president’s call to unity is highly idealistic —but on another it’s the most practical step these nations could take to escape the dilemma that’s left the region perpetually on the verge of crippling warfare for over a century.
All Trump is saying, is give peace a chance.
