In a detailed post on his Truth Social platform, former US President Donald Trump outlined an ambitious plan for Middle East peace, noting that talks with Iran were advancing positively. He positioned the current developments as a historic opportunity, cautioning that any collapse could lead to renewed and intensified conflict. Success, he argued, would build on the foundation of the Abraham Accords to foster unprecedented regional stability.
Trump detailed his conversations with several key regional figures, urging them to join the accords simultaneously. The list included Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Jordan’s King Abdullah II, and Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. He also referenced Pakistan among the potential participants.
Notably, while naming leaders by their official titles for other nations, Trump singled out Pakistan’s representative as Field Marshal Asim Munir, the country’s military chief, rather than Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. This distinction stood out in his statement, which otherwise emphasized constitutional office-holders.
The former president praised the Abraham Accords for delivering what he described as a significant financial, economic, and social boom for current members, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan. He advocated for further expansion, suggesting it could bring lasting power, strength, and peace to the region for the first time in millennia, and even floated the possibility of including Iran.
Trump called for immediate participation from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with others to follow, warning that those showing reluctance should be excluded to avoid undermining the agreement.

The specific mention of Pakistan’s military leader aligns with recent diplomatic engagements in Islamabad related to US-Iran discussions, where Field Marshal Munir played a prominent role, including interactions with high-level American officials like Vice President JD Vance. Pakistan’s long-standing civil-military dynamics have often seen the armed forces wield substantial influence over foreign policy matters.
Pakistan has traditionally withheld recognition of Israel, maintaining that such a step would require the prior creation of an independent Palestinian state. Any shift toward the Abraham Accords would likely encounter considerable domestic challenges. At the same time, Pakistani authorities have worked to strengthen relations with Washington following periods of tension after the US exit from Afghanistan.
Trump’s post underscores his continued focus on brokering broad regional realignments through economic and security incentives tied to the Abraham Accords framework.
