Israel’s minister of regional cooperation said Wednesday that he expects normalize relations with another Arab state before the U.S. elections.

Reuters reported that Ofir Akunis, who is also a member of Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, told Army Radio that the announcement would come before Nov. 3.

“I have a reasonable basis to believe that the announcement will come before November 3 — that, if you’ll permit me, is what I understand from my sources,” he said, according to the news service.

“I will be very happy if the announcement will happen — and before the elections in the United States,” Akunis added.
