US President Donald Trump said on Monday it should be mandatory for countries including Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey to join the Abraham Accords en masse as part of an effort to reach a deal with Iran.

Mr Trump said he spoke on Saturday to leaders of those countries, as well as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, which already have signed the accords, a set of agreements to normalise relations with Israel.

"I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords," the US President wrote in a Truth Social post on Monday.

He said those countries would be honoured to have Iran as part of the accords once a deal to end the war is reached.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, the US president says Saudi Arabia and Qatar should kick off the “immediate signing” of the Abraham Accords, normalising ties with Israel and “everybody else should follow suit”.

He said: "If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal [with Iran to end the war] in that it shows bad intention. In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, as soon as our Document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords. Wow, now that would be something special!.

"This will be the most important Deal that any of these Great, but always in Conflict Countries, will ever sign. Nothing in the past, or in the future, will surpass it.

"Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition.

“The Middle East would be United, Powerful, and Economically Strong, like perhaps no other area, anywhere in the World! By copy of this TRUTH, I am asking my Representatives to begin, and successfully complete, the process of signing these Countries into the already Historic Abraham Accords."

However, Trump’s post makes no reference to Israel at all, leaving the intent of his message open to interpretation.
