On Friday, November 7, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the Republic of Kazakhstan has joined the Abraham Accords. With this decision, Kazakhstan becomes the fifth nation to join the framework of agreements with Israel, alongside the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.

The Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC) warmly welcomes Kazakhstan’s accession to the Abraham Accords and expresses its hope that this historic step will mark the beginning of a new era of unprecedented growth and cooperation between Jerusalem and Astana.

Statement by Dr. Michael Mirilashvili, President of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress,
on Kazakhstan’s Accession to the Abraham Accords:

“The Euro-Asian Jewish Congress welcomes the historic decision of the Republic of Kazakhstan to join the Abraham Accords—an initiative that has opened a new chapter in the history of dialogue, understanding, and peace in the Middle East.

This step reflects Kazakhstan’s deep commitment to the values of peace, tolerance, and interfaith harmony—principles that have been a cornerstone of the country’s national policy since its independence.

Kazakhstan’s accession to the Abraham Accords is not only a diplomatic act but also an expression of moral responsibility and far-sighted leadership—hallmarks of the Kazakh government’s vision and policy.

For us, the representatives of Jewish communities across Eurasia, this event carries special significance. It strengthens bridges between peoples and faiths, opens new horizons for cooperation between Kazakhstan, Israel, and other countries in the region, and creates new opportunities for deepening cultural and humanitarian ties.

We express our profound appreciation to the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and to Kazakhstan’s diplomatic corps for their consistent efforts in promoting peace and intercultural dialogue.

The Euro-Asian Jewish Congress stands ready to support the development of public diplomacy, educational, and interfaith initiatives that embody and advance the spirit of the Abraham Accords throughout the region.”
