Mike Pompeo says he is continuing to urge more countries to normalize relations with Israel, a day after publicly urging Saudis to do so while visiting the Kingdom.

“We may well end up with a number of more countries who do precisely what the Emiratis and the Bahrainis did,” he tells WFLA Orlando.

“We’re working every day to try and convince an additional set of countries that the right thing to do is not to hate Israel, not to be against the Jewish homeland, but whether to work alongside them and benefit from the enormous economy that’s there, the technology that’s there, and the security relationships which will benefit their country and the United States and our citizens,” the US secretary of state adds.
