Oman and Indonesia could be next to announce normalizing diplomatic ties with Israel, and the move may come by the end of the year, a diplomatic source said Sunday.

According to a report by the Jerusalem Post, The Trump administration is trying to bring more Arab and Muslim countries into the Abraham Accords, which already include the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.

Over the weekend, the South Asian kingdom of Bhutan said it would establish full diplomatic relations with Israel, as well.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that Israel is "in touch with additional countries that want to join and establish relations with us."

The diplomatic source cited in the report identified Oman and Indonesia as two countries with which talks have advanced to the point where a deal could be announced before Trump leaves office on Jan. 20.

US officials, including US President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and senior White House Adviser Jared Kushner have all hinted that other countries are gearing up to announce normalization with Israel. Intelligence Services Minister Eli Cohen also mentioned negotiations were in play with several countries in an Army Radio interview on Friday.
