Israel expects Oman to normalize next, Mossad chief says Saudi deal soon
Times of Israel ^ | 24 October 2020 | TOI STAFF

Israeli officials believe Oman is next in line to normalize relations with Israel in the near future, following the Jewish state’s blitz of deals with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and most recently Sudan, according to a report Saturday.

Channel 12 said sources in the government claimed an announcement was even potentially possible before the US presidential election on November 3rd, though they stressed it could take more time, as Muscat would likely wait to see where political winds are blowing in Washington before making any major decisions...

Meanwhile, Channel 12 also reported that Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen has stated he believes Saudi Arabia will normalize ties with Israel, but will do so after the US election, to capitalize fully on such a decision with whoever is the next president.

The report said Israel believes any such Saudi decision will be cushioned by a significant arms deal with Washington...

Netanyahu said: “We brought three peace deals in six weeks. It’s not luck, it’s not coincidence but the result of clear policy...

On Friday US President Donald Trump predicted that Saudi Arabia would soon forge ties with Israel...

Trump said at least another five Arab nations wanted to join the diplomatic bandwagon, which saw the inking of similar agreements involving Bahrain and the UAE last month.

“We have at least five that want to come in,” Trump told reporters in the White House.

“We expect Saudi Arabia will be one of those countries,” he added...

“We will be signing many nations over the next coming weeks and months, including some very big ones,” said Trump. “And the Palestinians, by the way, if you ask about the Palestinians, they’re wanting to do something. They have never seen anything like this. They’re wanting to do something. I’m sure that will get done too.”

Holy s—t. Even Reagan couldn’t solve the MidEast jigsaw puzzle. If Trump isn’t among the top 5 Presidents of all time after 2024....

This mid-east peace stuff is not all great.

The minute the Berlin Wall came down and there was no big communist threat anymore, people decided it was safe to elect Democrats again and get back to social nonsense.

Will be watching developments with great interest. Even greater interest if a duration of 7 years is ever mentioned with regard to any peace deal for that region.

Not claiming anything. Just keeping my eyes open.

Bypassing Palestine and brokering peace directly with the belligerents was a stroke of genius, but too simple for the politicians, bureaucrats and Ivy League eggheads to figure out. I call it Straight Line Diplomacy. Win or lose next month, Trump will go down in history as a giant of statesmanship. and benefactor of peace. He untied the Gordian Knot.

“He untied the Gordian Knot.”

Well said.

What challenge is worthy of such talent, in President Trump’s second term?

I can only think of the Communist Party of China.

I’d settle for a good swamp draining at home.

Will President Biden lobby the arab states to cancel their new recognitions of Israel? Has anyone asked?

The Fakestinians need to be done, yes. Done with. Once and forever. ( let them return home to Arabia/egypt, etc. those governments know how to handle Arab terrorists a lot better than Jerusalem does anyway)

Trump’s a problem solver... that’s where he’s strongest. When the election stuff’s behind him, and the Middle East peace is secure, and the pandemic’s under control... he needs to look at health care...

A friend of mine had been posted in Oman. His gardener had scars around his neck, from wearing a slave collar as a boy.

Sultan Qaboos, who just passed away in January, freed the slaves in his first year in office (1970), and built modern Oman from scratch. The country had only six miles of paved roads when he took over. He was a real Godsend for Oman.

Some Jews are...more than almost any other group.

83% of Orthodox Jews Support Trump in New Poll

Too bad Qatar is holding out. I suspect they will wait to see how the election turns out.

Voting for Trump is literally voting for peace in the Middle East. Under a Kamala/Biden regime, the left would back a second Arab Spring, and erase 4 years of gains.

The only thing Joe Biden will ever be president of is Del Boca Vista Phase III.
