Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has urged the Palestinians and other Arab nations to forge peace agreements with the Jewish state.
Morocco, Sudan and Oman later signed similar deals.
"I'm calling the Palestinians and the citizens of any Arab nation -- we come in peace," Lapid said, adding that more normalisation deals would "bring prosperity, jobs, a culture of progress and success" to the peoples of the Middle East.
The remarks were made during an inaugural meeting of a Knesset (Parliament) panel dedicated to the promotion of the deals.
The panel is aimed at strengthening economic and tourism ties with Israel's newly allied Arab states, according to a statement issued by the panel.
Defence Minister Benny Gantz said that Israel has been working to sign normalisation deals with additional Arab countries.
