Trump administration offering Indonesia billions in aid for Israel normalization
[IsraelTimes] Top official says world’s most populous Moslem-majority nation could get $1 to $2 billion more in development assistance if it joins countries recognizing Jewish state.

Adam Boehler, the CEO of the US International Development Finance Corp., told Bloomberg in an interview published Tuesday that Indonesia could get $1 billion to $2 billion more in development aid if it joins the rush being organized by the Trump administration in its final days to have Arab and Moslem countries openly recognize Israel.

"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."

In an effort led by senior White House adviser Jared Kushner — US President Donald Trump

could also agree to normalize ties, however, Boehler told Bloomberg that his organization could not supply them with funding because the DFC isn’t allowed to invest directly in higher-income states.
