The White House thinks there will be "big announcements on countries that are coming into the Abraham Accords".

Axar.az informs, citing Jerusalem Post, the Trump administration's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said on Wednesday during an interview with CNBC.

The Abraham Accords were a development in the Middle East during US President Donald Trump's first term in office in 2020, when the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan agreed to normalize relations with Israel.

"One of the President's key objectives is that the Abraham Accords be expanded," Witkoff told CNBC.

Witkoff also noted that he and his team are working in coordination with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the State Department in order to "get more countries to come into [the Abraham Accords]."

"We are hoping for normalization across an array of countries that people never would have contemplated would come in, so we are excited for that prospect; it will also be a stabilizer in the Middle East," Witkoff added.

Witkoff hinted that these announcements on additional countries normalizing with Israel will be coming soon, while not naming the countries expected to join the accords.

Additionally, Witkoff told CNBC that nuclear enrichment and weaponization by Iran are red lines for the US, adding that he was hopeful for a comprehensive peace agreement with Tehran.

"We can't have weaponization," he said. "That will destabilize the entire region. Everyone will then need a bomb, and we just can't have that."
