(U.S. State Department) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke with Fox News on Tuesday: Q: Do you expect more normalization announcements from other countries with Israel? Pompeo: "I expect more normalization announcements....The direction of travel is very clear, and the rationale for that has a little bit to do with American policy. We got it right. We took away the excuse of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. We took away the excuse that the United States was going to appease Iran." "Everybody who joined the Abraham Accords will see the benefits for their own people. So I am highly confident that many, many more nations will ultimately choose to do the right thing and recognize Israel as the rightful homeland of the Jewish people." Regarding Iran, "Appeasing terrorists, appeasing those who have hegemonic desires, appeasing those who are underwriting militias all throughout the region and destabilizing the Middle East, cannot possibly be the right course of action."
