It is the first among the countries approached by Trump to publicly oppose joining the Israel normalisation pact.
Pakistan’s refusal is aligned with its long‑standing pro-Palestinian stance and its reluctance to shift regional policy despite US pressure.
Trump urged several Muslim‑majority nations, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan, to normalise relations with Israel under the Accords. Still, none of the others has issued official responses yet.
Trump is tying the current Iran negotiations and broader Middle East stabilisation efforts to a major expansion of the Accords. He has publicly urged Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan to normalise relations with Israel as part of a larger regional deal.
The Abraham Accords are a set of US‑brokered agreements from 2020 that normalised diplomatic, economic, and security ties between Israel and several Arab/Muslim‑majority countries, starting with the UAE and Bahrain, and later joined by Morocco and Sudan.
They broke the long‑standing Arab position that Israel would only be recognised after a Palestinian state was created.
