The Trump administration is pushing for another Muslim country to agree to a normalization deal with Israel in the remaining three weeks of US President Donald Trump’s term in office, a source in Trump’s administration said on Wednesday, according to a Jerusalem Post report.
“We’re working very hard on making it happen,” the source said. The report was confirmed by another Trump administration source as well.
Sources in Jerusalem and the US have mentioned the countries of Pakistan, Oman, Indonesia, Mauritania, and Niger as candidates for the next normalization deal with Israel.
There have also been persistent reports of a possible normalization deal with Saudi Arabia.

Can someone explain why suddenly Muslim nations want to (& some have) make Peace with Israel? I’m sure there is something more that is going on than an “American President just talked them into it & they agreed.”
A Palestinian media outlet is reporting that Trump offered Indonesia a bribe of $2 billion to normalize relations with Israel, and that Indonesia turned it down.
