President Donald Trump has reportedly urged Saudi Arabia and several other Arab and Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East to establish diplomatic relations with Israel once an agreement is reached to bring an end to the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran.
According to recent statements, Trump said that normalization of ties with Israel should follow after a peace deal is finalized, which he believes would help stabilize the region.
He made the appeal while discussing broader efforts to secure a lasting settlement to the war between Washington and Tehran.
The former U.S. president also emphasized that closer cooperation between Israel and Arab nations would contribute to long-term peace and security in the Middle East. However, he linked this step to the successful completion of the U.S.-Iran agreement, which is still under negotiation.
Trump has consistently pushed for expanded relations between Israel and Arab states as part of his wider Middle East policy vision, arguing that diplomatic integration would strengthen regional stability and economic cooperation.
