Witkoff says Lebanon, Syria could potentially join Abraham Accords

Steve Witkoff, U.S. President Donald Trump’s point person on the Middle East, has voiced optimism at efforts to bring Saudi Arabia into the Abraham Accords, a series of normalization agreements between Israel and Arab states that Trump brokered during his first term.

He also said he sees potential for normalization with Israel by Lebanon and Syria, after recent setbacks for Iran-backed forces in the two countries.

“Lebanon, by the way, could actually mobilize and come into the Abraham Peace Accords, as could potentially Syria. So, so many profound changes are happening,” Witkoff told an event in Washington for the American Jewish Committee.
