Gulf states resist Trump's Abraham Accords demand, citing prematurity and regional balance

Gulf powers say Trump’s push to have them join the Abraham Accords is premature and disconnected from postwar realities, with Saudi Arabia tying normalization to Palestinian statehood while Doha and Muscat focus on building a regional balance to deter both Iran and Israel; the UAE is already a party to the accords, but regional dynamics and waning faith in Washington are pushing Gulf states to diversify security ties and consider relationships with other powers as the Iran war reshapes the regional order.
