The US is offering billions in financing to Indonesia if the Asian country agrees to normalize relations with Israel, part of the Trump administration’s last-minute push to secure more normalization deals.
An official from the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) said talks are ongoing and that the US could more than double its current $1 billion portfolio if Indonesia develops ties with Israel.
“We’re talking to them about it,” DFC Chief Executive Officer Adam Boehler said in an interview on Monday. “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.” According to Bloomberg, Boehler said the DFC could boost its funding to Indonesia by “one or two more billion dollars.”
The US has been giving countries generous rewards for agreeing to normalize with Israel, like the $23 billion weapons package for the UAE and the recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara. The US also removed Sudan from the terror list after Khartoum agreed to normalize.
Trump administration officials have said they expect more countries to agree to normalize with Israel before Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20th. Some officials hope Saudi Arabia and Oman will be next, although the Saudis are expected to hold out for a while unless the US offers a generous enough reward.
Exactly why US citizens must be sacrificed to Covid-19,
Anyone keeping tabs? That 4 billion per year seems like a mere pittance compared to all these bribes.

So Trump who hates Muslims wants the world’s most populous Muslim nation to cosy up to Israel?
He doesn’t hate anybody He sees other as commodity . Muslim brand was not selling well after say 2016. Actually a shift was palpable from 2013 after Israeli -managed Saudi rehab . Saud had to fork out 13 billions and let it disappear in Negev sands. Now China is the new cargo of bipartisan hate while Russia is just abhorred by demo. The radical clerics from Saudia to Indonesia will not be able to spout hate against Christian and Jews . They will find new targets at home – women, non-observant muslims, education family planning ,child marriage and shill for unbridled capitalism . Interfaith family of Jews Christians and Muslims will blossom as the most motivated ardent foot soldiers for the neo-liberal hegemon.
Why doesn’t Israel pay Indonesia to be her friend ?
