What happened
The Abraham Accords have stalled, with Saudi Arabia freezing its accession due to a demand for a Palestinian state. However, the US is being advised to look beyond Arab countries and expand the Accords through non-Arab partners like Azerbaijan and Cameroon.
Azerbaijan has been a reliable ally to Israel, supplying 46.4% of its crude oil in 2025 and providing a frontline security anchor against Iran. The country has also allowed Israeli commandos and Mossad officers to operate from its soil to strike near Tabriz.
Cameroon, on the other hand, has a long-standing relationship with Israel, with Israeli trainers rebuilding the presidential guard in 1984. The country remains one of the few African nations that refuses to recognize a Palestinian state.
The US is being urged to launch rapid diplomatic initiatives to bring these countries into the Accords, including establishing a fast-tracked lane for nations that already recognize Israel and attaching a Caspian Energy Security Annex to Kazakhstan's framework.
