Rubio: Additional Arab countries may normalize relations with Israel this year

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio hinted on Wednesday that additional Arab countries could normalize relations with Israel this year.


Late in his first term, US President Donald Trump sponsored the Abraham Accords, under which the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco normalized their relations with the Jewish state.

"We may hear good news, certainly before the end of the year, about more countries intending to join this alliance," Rubio told the House Foreign Affairs Committee, according to Agence France-Presse.
