\u201cSix or seven nations from Africa and Asia will join the peace deal with the Saudis,\u201d Cohen told KAN News on Friday, September 22. \u201cI\u2019m telling you, I have met with several officials from Muslim nations with which Israel does not share formal ties,\u201d Israel\u2019s top diplomat added without identifying the names of the nations.<\/p>\n

A significant diplomatic issue with Libya was sparked less than a month ago by Cohen, whose office disclosed that then former foreign minister of Libya, Najla Mangoush, had met with him in Rome.<\/p>\n

Mangoush was fired as a result of the discovery, which also caused widespread protests in North Africa, and fled to London. Following his error, US officials reprimanded Cohen for \u201ckilling\u201d the conduit of communication with Libya, The Cradle reported. Additionally, Israeli media reported a Mossad agent who claimed that Cohen\u2019s actions \u201cdealt immense damage to the ties formed [with Libya] in recent years,\u201d adding: \u201cHe burned the bridge. It\u2019s irreparable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cohen\u2019s interview with the media followed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s speech at the UN General Assembly, where he claimed Israel is \u201con the cusp\u201d of normalising ties with Saudi Arabia while holding maps showing the West Bank, Gaza, and Golan Heights as part of Israel.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu later stated that Israel has a limited opportunity to reach an agreement in the coming months, citing the White House\u2019s rush to secure the normalisation deal before the 2024 US election season, according to Fox News.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am willing to consider benefits to the Palestinians \u2013 without jeopardising the peace of Israel,\u201d Netanyahu added before repeating claims he made at the UNGA, saying \u201cWe must not give the Palestinians a veto over new peace treaties with Arab states.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netanyahu\u2019s remarks were repeated earlier this week by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who declared that a normalisation agreement is \u201cgetting closer\u201d every day.<\/p>\n

His remarks, however, come two days after the Saudi foreign minister emphasised that the establishment of a Palestinian state of independence is a must for any peace agreement with Israel.<\/p>\n
