Israel is working towards formalising relations with a fifth Muslim country during US President Donald Trump's term, which ends next month, an Israeli government minister told Ynet TV on Wednesday.
The White House has brokered rapprochements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco this year, with Morocco hosting an Israeli-US delegation on Tuesday to flesh out the upgrade in relations.
Asked if a fifth country could sign up before Trump steps down on January 20, Israeli Regional Cooperation Minister Ofir Akunis told Ynet TV: “We are working in that direction.”
“There will be an American announcement about another country that is going public with the normalisation of relations with Israel and, in essence, with the infrastructure for an accord — a peace accord,” he said.

He declined to name the country but said there were two main candidates. One is in the Gulf, he said, giving Oman as a possibility while adding that Saudi Arabia is not.
The other candidate, further to the east, is a “Muslim country that is not small” but is not Pakistan, Akunis said.
Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country, said last week it would not recognise Israel as long as Palestinian statehood demands remain unmet.
Palestinians fear the normalisation of ties with Israel by Arab states will weaken a long-standing pan-Arab position calling for Israeli withdrawal from occupied territory and acceptance of Palestinian statehood in return for normal relations with Arab countries.

Pakistan gave a good reply, first recognize Palestine, then we can talk about recognition. While not being an Arab country, and while puppets of zionism pressured Pakistan to recognized Israel, Pakistan showed honour and said NO, until Palestine is recognized.

Thank you Pakistan. I knew Pakistanis in the US, highly respected people.

The next country to recognize Israel could be Oman or Indonesia. Personally, I think Pakistan is squandering a golden opportunity to come out of its international isolation and pariah status. If Bangladesh accepts Israel before us that will be a huge embarrassment. Indonesia the largest Muslim country will recognize Israel relatively soon, in sha Allah.

"Pakistan is squandering a golden opportunity" ??? Pakistan is not a thug nation like those Arab sheikdoms among them Morocco who couldn't stand up to Iran and are therefore seeking the military protection of Israel. Shame on the Arab sheikdoms and Glory to Pakistan.

Well Pakistan has to suffer the constant humiliation of putting its begging bowl in front of those Arab "thug" sheikdoms. Glory is a rather large word for a country like Pakistan

Who needs the humiliation of those unworthy Arab "thug" sheikdoms ? China has recently approached Imran Khan and made offers for reasonable loans. The "heck" with the Arabs.

Indonesia will not surrender to the pressure of the supporters of the criminal Zionist state.

Somebody help me, I thought Indonesia already recognizes Israel?

China is continuously debt trapping Pakistan.
Look, Pakistan can't afford to keep spending money on the military and defense like this. Government spending is out of control. Pakistan badly needs foreign investment and jobs.

State policy says its all Egyptian land.

Thank You Pakistan.

I live in the USA and I support the foreign policies of countries like Pakistan and Algeria who won't surrender to the pressure of the Zionist state, the butcher of Palestinian women and children.

come on Pakistan ! you can do it !

Very hilarious that the "mighty" Abu Dhabi pressures Pakistan to surrender to its friend and ally Israel. lol

Yes.

You must educate Algerians that Pakistan will never bow down to such pathetic demands.

Pakistanis will also help lend a hand in lifting Algeria from the French colonial misery.

If Pakistan doesn't recognize Israel, they deserve to be bitch slapped by India in 2021
