US President Donald Trump is now saying there are between seven and nine countries ready to make peace with Israel, after estimating just hours ago there were five or six such states.
Asked if he expected Saudi Arabia to follow suit, Trump says “I do. I spoke with the king of Saudi Arabia,” adding it would come “at the right time.”
“I think seven or eight or nine” more countries would normalize relations with Israel, he says.
