Dubai: Israeli Prime Minister Naphtali Bennett has arrived in the UAE on an official visit. This is the first high-level visit since the signing of a US – mediated cooperation agreement between the two countries.

This is the first visit of an Israeli Prime Minister to the UAE. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the UAE welcomed the Israeli Prime Minister on his arrival at the Presidential Terminal at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Also present were UAE Ambassador to Israel Mohammed Mahmoud Al Khaja and Israeli Ambassador to the UAE Amir Hayek.

He also met with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the UAE and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. The two discussed cooperation on issues such as finance and bilateral relations.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the UAE was scheduled several times but had to be postponed due to various reasons. Last June, Israeli Foreign Minister Yer Lapid visited Abu Dhabi to inaugurate the Israeli Embassy. This is the first high-level visit since the signing of a US – mediated cooperation agreement between the two countries.
