Kazakhstan to normalise relations with Israel

The Trump administration plans to announce that Kazakhstan will normalise relations with Israel on Thursday evening, Axios reported. 

US's special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff announced he would be flying from Florida to Washington for the announcement, but did not reveal who would be signing the Abraham Accords.

Axios said an unnamed US official revealed it would be Kazakhstan. The country's president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, is meeting President Donald Trump on Thursday.

The UAE and Bahrain were the first countries to sign the Abraham Accords and establish ties with Israel in 2020, followed by Morocco and Sudan.

Israel has been bombing Lebanon in recent days and has violated a ceasefire agreement with the country numerous times.
