Israel’s intelligence chief Eli Cohen said five additional countries — Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Morocco and Niger — are “on the agenda” amid a White House effort to convince Middle Eastern leaders to recognize the Jewish state.
“These are the five countries,” Cohen told Israel’s Ynet TV on Monday. So far, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have signed agreements normalizing ties with Israel amid a Trump administration effort dubbed the Abraham Accords. Sudan’s leaders have also signaled their willingness to recognize Israel.
