He added that in this regard, the United States will announce that another country is going to establish public relations with Israel, mainly with the framework of a peace agreement.
However, he declined to name the country. Any such announcement could be made with Saudi Arabia or Oman, but he said the country with which talks are underway is a largely Muslim country and is located in the east.
