US said seeking to clinch non-belligerence pact between Israel and Arab states
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United States is lobbying moderate Arab states to agree to a non-belligerence pact with Israel, Channel 13 reports, citing Israeli, Arab and American sources.
The report says US Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates presented the plan last week to the ambassadors of the UAE, Bahrain, Oman and Morocco in Washington. The diplomats agreed to report back to their capitals on the plan.
The proposal is at its early stages, the report says, acknowledging that it would be difficult to implement without a peace accord between Israel and the Palestinians.
Israel does not maintain diplomatic ties with these four countries but has bolstered its convert relations with these states in recent years over shared concerned about Iran.
