Israeli Foreign Minister’s historic visit to UAE

Abu Dhabi: On Tuesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid visited the United Arab Emirate- UAE. At the time, Foreign Minister Lapid inaugurated the first-ever Israeli Embassy in the Middle East located in Abu Dhabi. This is a landmark event, so Lapid appealed to other Middle Eastern nations to speak with Israel. Moreover, Foreign Minister Lapid expressed his gratitude to former US President Donald Trump and ex-Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu for the Israel-UAE cooperation.

Nine months ago, the United States mediated political cooperation between Israel and UAE, Bahrain. So, the then Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, visited UAE to accelerate this cooperation. But, he had to postpone this visit due to the Hamas attack on the Gaza Strip. On Tuesday, while inaugurating the Embassy, Israeli Foreign Minister Lapid specially mentioned the efforts of Trump and Netanyahu to establish this cooperation between Israel and Arab nations.
