Israeli minister: Trump opening new peace path with Israel-Sunni efforts
The Trump administration is working to strengthen ties between Israel and moderate Sunni states in the region for the purpose of advancing the prospect of peace between Israel and the Palestinians, according to Intelligence Minister Israel Katz.
In an interview with The Washington Post published on Sunday, he acknowledged that Israel has relations with certain unnamed Sunni countries that have no official peace deal or diplomatic ties with Jerusalem.
Katz indicated that due to the relative weakness of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and recent changes within the Hamas leadership, a direct approach has become increasingly difficult.
