The accords are an agreement brokered toward the end of his first term in office that normalized relations between other Arab states and Israel. UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Kazakhstan are the only countries that have signed on since 2020. In the past, Saudi Arabia has said it won't join unless there are pledges for Palestinian statehood.
