Israel eyes normalization with Mauritania, Indonesia to expand Abraham Accords
Jerusalem's efforts to add more countries to the Abraham Accords have intensified since Netanyahu returned to power in December.
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen is working to normalize ties with Mauritania, Somalia, Niger and Indonesia, in an effort to expand the Abraham Accords that saw Israel's ties normalized between the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco in 2020.
A report published Tuesday by Israel Hayom said Cohen is working to normalize ties with Mauritania, Somalia, Niger and Indonesia. The report notes that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu along with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, national security adviser Jake Sullivan and special envoy Amos Hochstein are also engaged in these efforts to enlarge the circle of the US-brokered 2020 Abraham Accords.
