**Saudi Arabia remains the focal point for Abraham Accords expansion before 2027, driven by U.S. President Trump's conditioning of a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement on Riyadh's normalization with Israel, though Saudi officials continue to tie any such step to concrete progress on a Palestinian state.** Recent trilateral talks among U.S., Israeli, and Moroccan officials have reinforced existing ties without adding new signatories, while Israel's ambassador to the UAE highlighted Kuwait as a potential near-term addition within four to six months, citing shared exposure to Iranian threats. Regional security dynamics, including Houthi attacks on shipping and broader Iran-related tensions, have prompted discussions of quiet cooperation that could influence timelines. Other candidates such as Oman, Qatar, or Lebanon appear more distant pending domestic or diplomatic shifts. Trader assessments reflect these procedural hurdles, U.S. leverage points, and the narrow window before the 2027 deadline.
