Trump Touts Abraham Accords as Solution to Iran, Gaza, and Possibly His Unpaid Legal Bills

Former President proposes trading normalization for nuclear deal, ignoring that the accords are currently on life support.

WASHINGTON—Standing in front of a garishly framed photo of himself shaking hands with the Saudi crown prince (taken, notably, before the prince allegedly dismembered a journalist), former President Donald Trump announced a visionary new foreign policy plan: link any future Iran deal to the expansion of the Abraham Accords. “What we have here,” Trump told a sparse crowd at Mar-a-Lago, “is a beautiful concept. The Abraham Accords—I made them, they’re perfect. Iran, nuclear, we’ll make a deal, but only if every Muslim country loves Israel. Very simple. Smart people get it. Sleepy Joe doesn’t think of these things.”

To be fair, the Abraham Accords were indeed a historic achievement—in 2020, they normalized relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Trump’s idea? Double down: make normalization a precondition for any Iran deal, effectively using Arab recognition of Israel as a cudgel against Tehran. “It’s a win-win,” Trump explained. “Iran stops enriching uranium, everyone loves Israel, and my golf courses get more Middle Eastern investment. What’s not to like?”

But reality, as usual, is being a buzzkill. The Gaza war—you know, the one where over 30,000 Palestinians have been killed—has made the Accords deeply unpopular in the very nations Trump wants to recruit. “Look, I still have a photo of Trump lighting the UN on fire,” said a UAE official speaking on condition of anonymity, “but if I tweet ‘#IsraelNormalization’ right now, my own mother would disown me. The domestic price is too high.” Even Kevin, Broathcast Journal’s overworked editor, took a break from screaming at his monitor to note: “These Accords are held together by duct tape and willful ignorance. Trump might as well ask Saudi Arabia to host the next Pride parade.”

The Biden administration, meanwhile, is trying to revive the 2015 Iran deal without linking it to Israeli-Arab relations—a strategy Trump dismisses as “low energy.” “The old deal was a disaster, but my new idea? Huge,” Trump said. “We get Iran to stop nuclear stuff, we get everyone to admit Israel is great, and maybe we even get the Saudis to pay for my next rally. I’m thinking of calling it the ‘Trump Century Accords.’ Or maybe ‘Deal of the Century 2: Electric Boogaloo’—I haven’t decided.”

Critics, however, see a fundamental flaw: public opinion in Muslim-majority countries has soured so dramatically since the Gaza conflict that even existing Accords signatories are wavering. “The Abraham Accords were based on a shared fear of Iran,” said Middle East expert Dr. Lena Khoury. “Now they’re based on a shared hope that no one brings up the news. Trump’s plan is like trying to sell ice to Eskimos, except the ice is on fire and the Eskimos are mad at you.”

Undeterred, Trump has already drafted a proposed agreement: “Article 1: Iran stops all nuclear activities. Article 2: Iran recognizes Israel. Article 3: Arab states get to say nice things about Israel on Twitter. Article 4: Trump gets a Nobel Prize. Article 5: This agreement cannot be used to prosecute Trump for anything. Boom. Done.”

Editor’s note: Kevin would like to clarify that he did not, in fact, cry while writing this article. He merely wept internally, which is different.
