Speaking at an American Jewish Committee breakfast in New York, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen says that he hopes “we will be able to mark a bigger and more historic event [than the Abraham Accords] in the coming months.”

He says a possible Saudi-Israel agreement will “symbolize reconciliation between the Jewish people and the Muslim world.”

The foreign minister says he expects more Muslim countries to normalize ties with Israel in the wake of a Saudi deal.

“This will lead toward a safer world,” says Cohen.
