Well-informed American sources indicated that the State Department avoids using the term "Abraham Accords" in reference to the normalization agreements between Arab countries and Israel.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the term has been crossed out from a wide range of official State Department communications as the new administration pressures officials to refer to deals under former President Donald Trump as "normalization agreements."

The source stressed that "the ministry also removed the term "Abraham agreements" from talking points, documents, data and official communications," adding that "the ministry's senior officials were very careful about explaining the decision and sought to keep it calm."

Former US President Donald Trump announced the agreement to normalize relations between Israel and the UAE last August, calling it the "Abraham Agreement", before other countries followed suit.
