“The new order says you don’t wait for the Palestinians to make peace,” he says, referring to those who insist that peace with the Palestinians must precede deals with regional countries.
“[The deal] is bringing Arab and Muslim countries closer to us, who have formed a united front against Iran,” he says.
He says that there was a country that essentially froze contacts with Israel for years, but due to his speech to Congress against the Iran deal, said they would thaw relations.
It’s unclear what country he is speaking of.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
