  "summary": "The Council for a Secure America (CSA) has released a report assessing the potential for expansion of the Abraham Accords, which established diplomatic relations between Israel and several Middle Eastern countries in 2020. According to the report, Kuwait is the most likely country to join the accords, followed by Lebanon and Syria. The rankings were based on various factors, including domestic political power, government structures, public opinion, and regional alliances. Kuwait is seen as the closest to normalization with Israel, despite its longstanding opposition and laws barring trade with Israel, due to the growing authority of its ruler and closer ties with the UAE. Lebanon has made significant diplomatic progress with Israel, but challenges remain from Hezbollah and the failure to fully disarm. Syria, meanwhile, has seen accelerated talks with Israel following the fall of the Assad regime, although the dispute over the Golan Heights remains a significant obstacle. Saudi Arabia, once a leading candidate for normalization, has moved further away from the accords since the 2026 Iran War.",
