Indonesia Unfazed By US Govt's $2 Billion Offer to Normalize Relations With Israel

In an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday, December 22, US International Development Finance Cooperation Chief Executive Officer Adam Boehler said “We’re talking to [Indonesia] about [establishing diplomatic relations with Israel].”

“If they’re ready, they’re ready and…we’ll be happy to [provide] even [more financial] support [to Indonesia].”

The US has convinced Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and other Middle Eastern countries to establish diplomatic relations with Israel under its so-called Middle East Peace plan brokered by Trump’s advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
