Diplomatic momentum for expanding the Abraham Accords has centered on Central Asian and Horn of Africa states following Kazakhstan’s formal accession in late 2025 and Israel’s December 2025 recognition of Somaliland, which pledged to normalize ties.

Traders track U.S.-brokered summits and official statements for signals of imminent agreements ahead of the 2027 deadline.
