US President-elect Donald Trump plans to use the momentum of the Gaza ceasefire to expand the Abraham Accords, which normalized Israel's relations with Arab countries. Trump expressed his satisfaction with the release of American and Israeli hostages and pledged to work closely with Israel and allies to prevent Gaza from becoming a terrorist safe haven. The Biden administration had aimed to include Saudi Arabia in the Accords, but the outbreak of war halted these efforts. Arab governments are now waiting to see if Trump will revive normalization efforts.
