JERUSALEM - Bahrain and Oman could be the next Gulf countries to follow the United Arab Emirates in formalising ties with Israel, Israel's Intelligence Minister said on Sunday .

"I think that Bahrain and Oman are definitely on the agenda. In addition, in my assessment, there is a chance that already in the coming year there will be a peace deal with additional countries in Africa, chief among them, Sudan," he said. The official declined to name the countries, but said they were Arab and Muslim nations in the Middle East and Africa.

The deal, brokered with US help, firms up opposition to regional power Iran. The Palestinians denounced the deal as a betrayal.
