WASHINGTON (Dispatches) – U.S. President Donald Trump said he does not believe Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman is serious about linking normalization with Israel to the establishment of a Palestinian state, predicting Riyadh will eventually join the Abraham Accords.
In an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes, Trump said he expects Saudi Arabia to sign the accords, which were initially brokered during his first presidential term in 2020 and included the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.
“No, I think he’s going to join. We will reach a solution. I don’t know if it will be a two-state solution — that’s up to Israel and other parties… and me as well,” Trump said.
The comments come ahead of Prince Muhammad’s scheduled visit to Washington on November 18 for an official working meeting with Trump, marking his first visit to the White House since 2018. A senior Trump administration official said discussions are underway about signing agreements during the visit, but details remain “in flux.”
Trump’s push for Saudi inclusion in the accords occurs amid ongoing efforts to expand the U.S.-brokered normalization with Israeli despite the Zionist regime’s worst genocide over the past two years.
During his first term, the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco signed agreements to normalize relations with Israel, drawing sharp criticism from Palestinians who viewed the deals as a betrayal of their cause.
During the 60 Minutes interview, Trump also said he would “help” Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu with his corruption trial, describing it as unfair treatment — a highly unusual statement involving foreign interference in a U.S. ally’s judicial process.
Trump added that he had previously pressed Netanyahu to apologize to Qatar over the September 2023 aggression on Doha and to accept a Gaza ceasefire, describing his actions as effective diplomatic pressure.
