Saudi crown prince joins Trump-led call with Arab leaders on regional tensions
Trump said 8 regional leaders should join the Abraham Accords after a deal to end the Iran war, U.S. officials said.
- President Donald Trump pressured leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain on Saturday to commit to the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel once the war with Iran ends.

- Leaders from nations lacking diplomatic ties with Israel were caught off guard by the ultimatum, with U.S. officials describing the moment as tense and silence reportedly falling over the line.

- Envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will pursue the normalization matter in the coming weeks, while President Trump plans to brief Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the strategy.
