GETTING THE SAUDIS ON BOARD WOLD BE YUGE: Trump says more countries should normalize ties with Israel in any Iran deal.

While restoring commercial traffic through the strait has been a top priority for U.S. allies, Trump on Monday added an apparent demand that any peace deal should require more countries to extend full diplomatic recognition to the state of Israel.

“[I]t should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote on social media.

The Abraham Accords, first signed in 2020 during Trump’s first term, normalized relations between Israel, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. Kazakhstan, Morocco, and Sudan are also signatories.

Trump now says Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia should agree to establish full diplomatic relations with Israel.

Egypt is officially at peace with Israel, and has been since 1979 — but it was never a very warm peace.
