Saudi Arabia, Pakistan reject Trump’s Abraham Accords demand

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have firmly rejected US President Donald Trump's demand that Muslim-majority nations normalize ties with Israel through the Abraham Accords as a mandatory condition for any Iran peace deal.

Saudi Arabia is maintaining its red line, insisting it will not sign the accords without the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Likewise, Pakistan's defense minister explicitly rejected the demand, stating it clashes directly with the nation's core ideologies. He said that his country maintains its longstanding position that it will not recognize Israel without a viable Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders.
