Israel hopes for diplomatic ties with fifth Muslim country, Bangladesh 'not interested'

[INS_Vikrant]

Israel is really building up the suspense with these little teaser clues! I'm excited. Who will the lucky winner be??

My bet is on Indonesia

 

[INS_Vikrant]

Why though?

India has almost in every instance voted against Israel and has criticized most of their actions in Palestinian territories. It has given millions of dollars in aid to Palestinian refugees and even have granted of a few hundred of them refuge in India as well, back in the days Yaseer Arafat used to refer Indira Gandhi his sister and out current PM Narendra Modi was awarded Palestine's highest civilian award (Grand Collar of the State of Palestine) when he bacame first Indian PM to visit Palestine in 2018.

That doesn't answer why...

This is false and actually the opposite is true- Israel and India have solidarity with each other primarily based on the fact neither is Muslim nor Christian..you're trolling bra

Every Indian move at the UN can be discussed as well as simple things like how Soleimani of Iran is considered a hero in India.

Unbelievable but true

It is.

India has been anti Israel long before Gandhi was shot.

 

[masterchief_mirza]

My bet is on Indonesia

They've already ruled themselves out. I'm scratching my head here. Maybe some new country will rise in the Indian ocean or South China sea, long hidden for centuries - a Muslim Atlantis - waiting for this moment in time to declare its presence to the world and simultaneously recognise Israel.

We shall call this nation Atlantistan.

I guess big Islamic country would mean Afghanistan

Well said, especially the last part.

It's Christmas day and for a dose of goodwill and peace to all men, you came to PDF?

Israel is working towards formalising relations with a fifth Muslim country, possibly in Asia, during US president Donald Trump's term, an Israeli cabinet minister said on Wednesday.

The White House has brokered rapprochements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco this year. Rabat hosted an Israeli-US delegation on Tuesday to flesh out the upgrade in relations.

Asked if a fifth country could sign up before Trump steps down on 20 January, regional cooperation minister Ofir Akunis told Israel's Ynet TV: "We are working in that direction."

"I believe ... there will be an American announcement about another country that is going public with the normalisation of relations with Israel and, in essence, with the infrastructure for an accord - a peace accord," he said.

Administration officials have said they are trying to get more countries to recognise Israel or warm existing ties to it.
Akunis said there were two main candidate countries to become the next to move towards normal ties with Israel.

He did not name either but said one is in the Gulf and could be Oman but would not be Saudi Arabia. The other, further to the east, is a "Muslim country that is not small" but is not Pakistan, Akunis said.

Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country, said last week it would not recognise Israel as long as Palestinian statehood demands remain unmet. Malaysia has signalled a similar policy.

"Malaysia's firm stance on the Palestinian issue will not change," deputy foreign minister Kamarudin Jaffar told the country’s senate on Wednesday, adding that Kuala Lumpur would not interfere in other nations' decisions on Israel.

In Dhaka, a foreign ministry official said Bangladesh was not interested in establishing diplomatic ties with Israel. "Our position remains the same," he told Reuters.

Oman has praised the US-brokered diplomatic drive but has not commented on its own prospects of forging Israel ties.
The Palestinians, whose negotiations with Israel stalled in 2014, fear being sidelined by the normalisation process.

Thank You Bangladesh !

My bet is on Indonesia

I trust Indonesia to support the Palestinian cause.

Recognizing Israel is not betrayal of Palestine. The Palestine cause is not even a Muslim cause, it's a Palestinian national cause, just like Kashmir cause is a Kashmiri nationalist cause.
A Muslim cause would be the Uighurs because they are being persecuted on account of their Religion, and likewise the Rohingya. But ironically it is these causes the Muslim world is totally silent regarding

 

[BlueWhales]

Unbelievable but true

How ?

 

[aziqbal]

The only countries getting in on this nonsense are countries that can either be bought like Morroco

Or U.S lackeys like the UAE


Israel is widely hated by the populations of most muslim countries, so unless they are authoritarian regimes like UAE or Saudi, it's causes a uproar at the public level

I will give this example once again
The Egyptian state has had 40+ years of a peace deal with Israel, but no Israeli can go to down town Cairo and wave a Israeli flag without being lynched

that is a very good point

but unfortunately if any of these citizens even in UAE including UAE nationals says anything against their country's policies towards Israel they will most likely be executed

at least in Pakistan we drag our leaders by the balls through the streets when they take a flight from Karachi to Islamabad

in all the chaos there is something to be said

 

[VikingRaider]

LMAO . Bangladesh govt is smart! Maybe they are waiting for Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to recognise Israel first!

Now a pig will tell about what is right and what is wrong.

BAL clearly not buying into Israel's balfalani tactics to distract from their apartheid.
