Rapprochement with Pakistan not on cards: Israel

[Abu Dhabi]

Oman and Indonesia ?

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Bangladesh / Indonesia / Malaysia

 

[Indos]

The Gulf candidates left to recognize Israel are Qatar, Kuwait and Oman (if SA is excluded). Of these Oman is by far the one most likely to recognize Israel.

Amongst further-east large Muslim nations we have Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia. The one he is talking about here is most likely Indonesia ( @Indos , what do you think)?

It has been so clear that Indonesian foreign ministry has denied such thing can happen. I dont know why until so far there are so many media that continue blowing such news

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"There are two things that I would like to say. First, the Foreign Affairs Ministry has never been in contact with Israel. Secondly, when it comes to running foreign policy, the Foreign Affairs Ministry is still consistent with Palestine in accordance with the mandate of the constitution," Teuku said in Jakarta on Monday.

JERUSALEM:
Israel is working towards formalising relations with a fifth Muslim country during US President Donald Trump's term, which ends next month, but the country is not Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, an Israeli government minister told Ynet TV on Wednesday.
The White House has brokered rapprochements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco this year. Israeli Regional Cooperation Minister Ofir Akunis was asked if a fifth country could sign up before Trump steps down on Jan 20.
“We are working in that direction. 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 replied.
Akunis declined to name the country but said there were two main candidates. “One is in the Gulf… Saudi Arabia is not. The other candidate, further to the east, is a Muslim country that is not small but is not Pakistan,” Akunis said.

​

Rapprochement? That can only happen if Pakistan had ever recognized israel and then cancelled it. These pigeon israelis and their psycho babble!

 

[Mujahid Memon]

Bangladesh most likely

 

[Indos]

Its a stretch I agree but Indonesia did not join the Turkey-Pakistan-Malaysia-Qatar group (https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/t...-and-qatar-form-troubling-new-alliance-629519). If talks are going ahead between Israel and a large Muslim nation to the east of Pakistan the only real option left is Indonesia.

Indonesia still attend the meeting but only send foreign minister. As far as I know Pakistan didnt even send his foreign minister there.

Indonesia in some extend is still quite close with OIC as organization and so far is quite satisfied with Saudi lead OIC. Indonesia wants OIC to be strengthen rather than making another competing group.

Despite so it doesnt make Indonesia cannot create a close cooperation with Turkey. Turkey and Indonesia will try to make a Strategic High Council that will strengthen cooperation between two nations in term of multilateral and global issues.

Turkey’s Erdogan to visit Indonesia in 2021

Indonesia and Turkey are working on a plan for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to come to Jakarta next year for an official visit, as the two sides missed out on the opportunity to celebrate a milestone anniversary this year. Jokowi visited Ankara in 2017 and Erdogan was originally scheduled to visit Indonesia in the second half of 2020 to mark 70 years of diplomatic relations, but the pandemic put the plan on ice.

Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi discussed the follow-up visit with her Turkish counterpart Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu in Jakarta on Tuesday, when they also signed a diplomatic training agreement. Retno said the two countries were looking at forming a “high-level strategic council” as a forum for their leaders to regularly discuss strategic bilateral, regional and multilateral issues.

The two ministers are also hoping that negotiations on the Indonesia-Turkey Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IT-CEPA) will be completed next year, as mandated by the presidents of both countries. “The IT-CEPA has the potential to increase bilateral trade between Indonesia and Turkey. It will also serve to demonstrate our commitment to an open, fair and free multilateral trade system, and to concerted efforts to support post-epidemic economic recovery,” said Retno.

Indonesia is one of Turkey’s largest trade partners in the Asia-Pacific, and the two sides are targeting US$10 billion in bilateral trade by 2023. “When we look at the trade volume between the two countries, it is around US$1.5 billion. The total population of our two countries is 350 million, so $1.5 million is far [below] our true potential,” Çavuşoğlu said in a joint press event after the meeting.

Retno said Indonesia also welcomed the increasing interest in Indonesia among Turkish investors, especially in shipping, agriculture and infrastructure. “I also conveyed to the Turkish Foreign Minister about the recently enacted Job Creation Law, which I believe can create a climate that is increasingly conducive to Turkish investment in Indonesia,” she added.

The two foreign ministers hailed the close cooperation between their countries in the security and defense industry following Çavuşoğlu’s working meeting with Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto on Dec. 22. “Regarding technology and industrial cooperation, since last June, intensive talks have been initiated by the two countries to cooperate in the aerospace industry, in electric cars, rocket launch sites, satellites and satellite launch vehicles, as well as medical and pharmaceutical technology,” said Retno.

The two Muslim-majority countries also discussed the latest developments in the Middle East and jointly expressed the need to strengthen the Organization of Islamic Cooperation amid the challenges in the Islamic world. Specifically regarding the Israel-Palestine issue, Retno said she reaffirmed Indonesia’s commitment to stand behind Palestine.

“The Palestinian issue must be resolved based on various [United Nations] Security Council resolutions and internationally agreed parameters, including the two-state solution,” she stressed. Indonesia has pledged to recognize Israel only after Palestine had gained independence under the two-state solution, although details have recently emerged that the United States was offering financial incentives to Indonesia to normalize relations with Israel. Unlike Indonesia, Turkey has formal ties with Israel, although the past year has seen tensions rise between the two over the Middle East conflict.

How does that indicate that it's not Pakistan? Pakistan is hardly 'small'...

Because he specifically says, that the country he meant is not pakistan. Ab tum certificate bana ke da. Phr man jao ga bhai. Akhir chahta kaya ho.
Indonesia or Bangladesh or Brunei etc maybe in talks and open up about it. I think. It can be between Indonesia and Bangladesh. By bigger country he meant that smaller Muslim countries like Maldives and mauritius are not.

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

What will Pakistan do when the Palestinians eventually recognise Israel and heed to all their demands?

 

[El Sidd]

Its not like they recorded protests in Tel Aviv demanding Israeli government to make provisions so Pakistan can accept them.

 

[The Eagle]

Possibly Tunisia or Oman.
