Israel is working hard to establish full diplomatic and economic relations with the Muslim world. His main ally, the United States, is supporting him. Four Muslim countries have already established relations with Israel. An Israeli minister has demanded that relations be established with two more Muslim countries before US President Donald Trump resigns in January. However, Bangladesh is not at all interested in building such a relationship with Israel, according to Reuters.
In recent months, four Muslim countries – the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco – have normalized relations with Israel through the mediation of the White House. Washington-Jerusalem is now in search of a fifth country. Israel has been particularly interested in establishing relations with any Muslim country in Asia.
When asked if Trump would have relations with a fifth Muslim country before leaving power on January 20, Israel’s Minister for Regional Cooperation Afir Akunis told a local television station: “We are working to achieve this.”
“I think … another country is openly normalizing relations with Israel on the basis of the peace agreement, that US declaration will come,” he said.
The Israeli minister said that the following two countries had been selected to establish relations with them. Although he did not directly name the two countries at the time, he said that one would be a Gulf country, but that it would likely be Oman, not Saudi Arabia.
Aquino said: “Another will be a more eastern country. It will be a Muslim country, not a small one. But that country is not Pakistan.
Since Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s recent visit to the United Arab Emirates, there have been rumors that Islamabad has secretly sent a message to Israel. However, the Pakistani Foreign Minister clarified his position, telling local journalists: “I have presented Pakistan’s position on Israel to the UAE Foreign Minister.” We will not and cannot establish relations with Israel until that there is a firm and lasting solution to the Palestinian problem. “
Indonesia has also been named in talks negotiated by the United States with Israel. The United States is also showing its greed for billions of dollars to establish relations with the Israelis. But last week, the country with the world’s largest Muslim population said it would not recognize Israel until the Palestinian demands were met.
Malaysia, another Muslim country in Asia, has indicated that it will follow the same policy. Oman has praised US-mediated diplomatic relations, but has yet to comment directly on Israeli relations.
Quoting an official at the Foreign Ministry in Dhaka, Reuters said Bangladesh was also not interested in establishing diplomatic relations with Israel. “Our position remains the same,” he said.
A Reuters report on Wednesday did not name the official. But last September, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Shahriar Alam, told BBC Bangla that his government was and would continue to be in favor of the fight for an independent Palestinian state.
He said: “Since the birth of Bangladesh, the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has clearly stated at various international conferences that we stand on the side of the Palestinian people. We are in favor of the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Until the establishment of the Palestinian state, non-Israeli Israel’s relationship with Bangladesh will continue.
