U.S. Dangles Billions for Indonesia to Normalize Zionist Ties

JAKARTA (Kayhan Intl.) – Indonesia could unlock billions of dollars in additional U.S. financing if it joins President Donald Trump’s push for Muslim countries to establish relations with the Zionist regime, according to a U.S. official.
The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, a government agency that invests overseas, could more than double its current $1 billion portfolio if Indonesia develops ties with the occupying regime, DFC Chief Executive Officer Adam Boehler said in an interview at the King David Hotel in al-Quds.
"We’re talking to them about it,” Boehler said. "If they’re ready, they’re ready and if they are then we’ll be happy to even support more financially than what we do.” He said he wouldn’t be surprised if his organization’s funding to Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, was boosted by "one or two more billion dollars.”
American and Zionist officials have said they expect more countries to join the wave of normalization agreements with the regime announced in the past few months, including with United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco.
The U.S. also hopes Oman and Saudi Arabia will join, although Boehler said DFC funding to those two countries would be restricted because the organization isn’t allowed to invest directly in higher-income states.
Last week, Indonesia dismissed media allegations that the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country is seeking to establish diplomatic ties with the Zionist regime.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah said in a statement last Tuesday that there was not any such possibility, and that the ministry has never been in contact with the Zionist regime.
"In exercising Indonesian foreign policy with regard to the Palestinian issue, the Foreign Ministry has consistently worked in accordance with the mandate of the Constitution,” Faizasyah said.

‘Saudi, UAE Regimes Bankrolling Deals’

Meanwhile, according to Lebanon’s Al Akhbar newspaper Saudi Arabia and the UAE are pumping in huge sums of money in order to finance the normalization agreements that some Arab countries have recently signed with the Zionist regime.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE "are financing these new agreements”, a Moroccan diplomat told Al Akhbar, under condition of anonymity.
The diplomat added that the United States was offering a generous aid package to persuade Arab countries to quickly sign the deals, and this "will be provided directly by Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, or through participation in investment projects in which Israel plays a direct role, especially in terms of logistical and technical expertise”.
In the latest development, a Zionist regime delegation has headed to Morocco to meet with the king and hammer out a normalization deal, less than a fortnight after the occupying regime and the North African country agreed to normalize relations.
On Tuesday, the envoys, led by national security adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat, boarded El Al Israel Airlines in the first direct commercial flight from Tel Aviv to Rabat.
The delegates were accompanied by Trump’s advisor and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, the so-called architect of the recent normalization agreements with the occupying regime.
The delegation is scheduled to spend less than a day in Morocco, holding meetings with Moroccan officials, including King Muhammad VI, and sign bilateral and trilateral deals.
There has been across-the-board condemnation from Palestinians and many countries, who view the deals as a betrayal of the Palestinian cause to establish an independent state of Palestine, with East al-Quds as its capital.
