U.S. President Donald ​Trump said on Monday that he has asked countries including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey ‌to join the Abraham Accords en masse to normalize relations with Israel as he tries to negotiate an agreement to end the war with Iran.

Trump said he spoke on Saturday to leaders of those countries, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which have already signed ​the accords, a set of agreements to normalize relations with Israel.

"I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign ​the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the ⁠United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition," Trump ​wrote in a post on Truth Social.

He cited "all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very ​complex puzzle together."

"Mandatorily requesting"? LOL. And he obviously thinks this "unparalleled World Coalition" will get him the Nobel Peace Prize he's so desperate for.

Not surprisingly, neither Israel nor the other countries have responded to the latest fantasy from Delusional Donald.

1. "Mandatorily requesting" our Gulf "allies" be bullied into submitting to him

Sounds like another dick move by someone who considers himself boss of the world.

7. Yeah. What works in America because we have...

so many stupid and/or corrupt people,
doesn't work across the world.

2. Why yes Mr. Trump. Would you like fries with your order?

[underpants]

3. So he throws this in on top of a negotiation that may be stalled?

6. He's pulling a Netanyahu.

What that tells me is that he is caving to Satanyahu's pressure to keep the war going. Surrprised? Not.

4. I'm sure the populations of those nations will be thrilled with this idea

Particularly after Gaza

5. He's all over the place with his requests, demands to get himself out of the box he's put himself in

My thinking is he’s desperate to come up with a Reagan type “miracle” just around election time and then proclaim himself as some kind of genius for the Peace Prize and another term as president. I hope it’s my nightmare and nothing more

8. I think the normalization of Arab countries with Israel should include Palestine. Otherwise it reduces

the chances of a Independent Palestinian State and should also include a halt to Israeli annexation of the West Bank and include a plan that addresses the rebuilding and governance of Gaza.

I think this should be a foundational aspect of the Abraham Accords - without this there will be continued conflict.

10. Trump & Netanyahu got the UAE to sign the accord by lying to them.

They told the crown prince that Israel would halt its annexation of the West Bank (it hasn't).

Other Arab countries would be crazy to sign onto it after that.

9. It's always good to remember Trump's only goal is to enrich himself

He doesn't care if there's a peace deal or not. As long as he can game the oil markets to make money, he'll do it.
