Israeli Envoy Says Kuwait Could Join Abraham Accords Within Months
Yossi Shelley said the normalization bloc could expand soon as relations with the United Arab Emirates improve and contacts continue behind the scenes.
- On Tuesday, Israeli Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Yossi Shelley suggested Kuwait could join the Abraham Accords within four to six months, citing shifting understanding among Kuwaitis about regional developments.
- The Abraham Accords, which established diplomatic relations between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain, marked their sixth anniversary this week, reflecting Israel's ongoing expansion efforts since 2020.
- Although Shelley indicated potential progress, Kuwait has historically opposed normalization without resolving the Palestinian issue, and Kuwaiti officials have not yet commented on the ambassador's recent remarks.
- Washington and Jerusalem are intensifying efforts to expand the Accords, aiming to bring Saudi Arabia into the framework and build a broader regional security architecture linking Israel with Gulf states.
- Dismissing claims that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the October 7 massacre, Shelley asserted he was present during those days and recalls no such discussion.
