There are other Arab countries that will join peace agreements with Israel, and Washington will continue its efforts; in order to create peace in the region, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Al Arabiya on Sunday.
"I am very confident that other nations will join what the Emiratis, Bahrainis, and Sudanese have done and recognize the rightful place of Israel among nations," he said in an exclusive interview with Al Arabiya. "They'll do it because it's the right thing to do for their nation, because of increased prosperity and security for their country."
He added that this would not have been possible without the US' leadership and engagement; and Washington's role in "laying down the risks in the Middle East from the Islamic Republic of Iran."
Pompeo added that while the US seeks to achieve peace in the region, it takes into consideration the danger posed by Iran; which countries in the region recognize as a common threat.
"The reality is that now the Gulf states and Israel recognized they have a common threat from Iran;" the Secretary of State said; adding that the US "would love for the Palestinians; to engage with Israel [but] their leadership has rejected President Trump's vision for peace."
"Every country that wants a better situation for their own people; will come along to recognize Israel," Pompeo said.
