PM says unnamed country to announce new diplomatic relations with Israel

A country that does not have diplomatic relations with Israel is due to announce the establishment of official ties with the Jewish state, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says.

At an event at the President’s Residence — honoring deceased presidents and prime ministers — Netanyahu says the unnamed country will make the announcement next week, but offers no hints as to which country it might be.

The last country that announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with Israel was Guinea, in West Africa.

— Raphael Ahren
