Deputy U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus expressed confidence that Lebanon will join the Abraham Accords by the end of the Trump administration, in an interview with Fox News reported by N12. Her remarks align with the broader U.S. diplomatic push that has included a memorandum of understanding with Iran and statements by other U.S. officials expressing optimism about Lebanon-Israel normalization. The Zioneer has reported on several such statements, including from the State Department and the U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon, in recent weeks. The Abraham Accords, initially signed in 2020, normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states; Lebanon has not yet joined.
