A spokesperson for the US State Department told Kan News this evening (Tuesday) that the American administration views normalization between Israel and its neighbors as a priority. The response came following a report by Kan News yesterday, according to which one country in the region advised another to sign an agreement with Israel in order to 'sedate' it, and then prepare for fighting with it. The spokesperson emphasized that expanding the Abraham Accords would strengthen regional security, expand economic integration, and help prevent security threats, and that the accords have already led to clear security and economic benefits. He further said that the United States remains committed to advancing on the basis of these achievements while consulting with its regional partners. However, the American administration chose not to respond directly to the details of the Kan News report.
