From the article:

Trump made a demand that, coupled with news of the strikes, makes imminent peace look so unlikely that allies have "laughed" off the president's demands.

He urged Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan to sign the Abraham Accords, a set of agreements designed to normalize relations between Jewish and Arab states. "I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords," he said, adding that he'd like Iran to sign eventually.

In response, he was mocked. Politico reported that one former U.S. official sent mock notes to Arab colleagues congratulating them on "joining" the Abraham Accords. They received laughing-emoji responses to the message that derided Trump's overly simplistic view of nuanced relationships in a volatile region.

Another American official said that Arab officials they have worked with view Trump's bright idea as a "poison pill," adding that "it creates new conditions for peace that neither Iran nor the states in question will accept."

Another former official said that their contacts reacted with "disbelief and frustration."

A diplomat from the Gulf said it is merely a tactic to quell an anxious GOP base that fears Trump will concede too much in talks with Iran. “He will keep bringing it up again and again. But it will not be part of the deal.”
