TEL AVIV, Israel \u2014 It was the kind of sweeping, last-minute demand that would have torpedoed most diplomatic talks: President Donald Trump insisting this week that in exchange for him ending the war with Iran, several Arab and Muslim countries should sign on to his Abraham Accords to normalize their diplomatic relations with Israel.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s been almost no response from any of the countries that Trump mentioned by name \u2014 more than half of whom already have diplomatic relations with Israel \u2014 and no statement of support from an Israeli government that would reap enormous benefits from such a deal.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Analysts said Trump\u2019s last-minute condition was so sudden and unworkable, it would appear to most diplomats as a kind of cry for help from a leader who is desperate to wring a legacy-defining victory from his unpopular war. <\/p>\n

And instead of imperiling delicate negotiations by offending the countries Trump needs to help him make a deal, regional observers and diplomatssaid those countries simply aren\u2019t taking Trump\u2019s demand seriously at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gaslighting,\u201d said Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a former senior State Department official under several American presidential administrations.<\/p>\n

Miller likened Trump\u2019s sudden focus on the Abraham Accords to his pledge to transform the Gaza Strip into a highly-developed luxury \u201cRiviera\u201d \u2014 a plan the administration has continued to advance even as Gaza\u2019s humanitarian crisis persists amid gridlocked diplomacy. <\/p>\n

A senior Arab official directly involved in mediating peace talks between Washington and Tehran told NBC News that Trump has brought up the Abraham Accords during the negotiations. \u201cSomeone is misunderstanding the situation in a big way,\u201d the official said of the Trump\u2019s comments. \u201cWe should be paid back, not paying the price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, several of countries the president mentioned, such as Turqiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and Pakistan, may expect gratitude from the U.S. for having played crucial intermediary roles toward negotiating an end to the fighting. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gulf states have already borne the economic and security costs of escalation,\u201d said Asif Durrani, a Pakistani diplomat who once served as the country\u2019s ambassador to Iran, on X. \u201cAsking them to absorb additional political costs by normalising ties with Israel amid the Gaza tragedy risks deepening regional fault lines rather than healing them.\u201d<\/p>\n

And countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, and Bahrain have faced sustained Iranian counter-attacks even though they didn\u2019t participate directly in the initial U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.<\/p>\n
