Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed hopes to reach peace deals with more Arab countries once operations against Hamas and Hezbollah are complete.

“I aspire to continue the process I led a few years ago of the signing of the historic Abraham Accords, and achieve peace with additional Arab countries,” Netanyahu said in a speech in parliament.

“These countries, and other countries, see clearly the blows we are landing on those who attack us, the Iranian axis of evil,” he said. “They aspire, like us, for a stable, secure and flourishing Middle East.”
