US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has announced new normalization agreements that Arab countries will sign with Israel, without mentioning what those countries are.
Pompeo said in an interview with Al-Arabiya, from which he published extracts on Sunday, that “there are Arab countries which will join peace agreements with Israel.”
On September 15, Israel signed in Washington, under the patronage of outgoing President Donald Trump, in his presence an agreement to establish relations with the United Arab Emirates and a declaration of “support for peace” with Bahrain.
Trump urged Saudi Arabia to follow the example of its two Gulf neighbors, as well as Sudan announced the normalization of its relations with Israel and “the end of the state of hostility between them”.
It comes as Pompeo concludes his tour today, Sunday, in Saudi Arabia, where he is due to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The US Secretary of State visited Paris, Istanbul, Georgia, Israel, the Emirates and Qatar during the tour.
