STORY: :: Netanyahu says Israel wants more peace deals with Arab states after the current war ends

:: Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister

"The Day After includes another thing that is of utmost importance: I aspire to continue the process I led a few years ago of the signing of the historic Abraham Accords, and achieve peace with additional Arab countries. In the Abraham Accords we achieved four peace treaties -- and I underline: Peace for peace, peace of strength -- with important countries in the Middle East. These countries, and other countries, see clearly the blows we are landing on those who attack us, the Iranian axis of evil. They are impressed by our determination and boldness."

Israel, under the U.S.-brokered 2020 accords, normalized relations with four Arab countries - the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.

Since then, Israel, with U.S. support, has sought to also include other nations, particularly Saudi Arabia. Riyadh says it will not recognise Israel without the creation of a Palestinian state.
