Abu Dhabi: Israeli Prime Minister Naphtali Bennett met with Prince Crown Abu Dhabi Monday during the first visit by a Jewish leader to the United Arab Emirates, more than a year after two countries set up a bond.
Bennett’s visit came when Israel pursued diplomatic boost on international nuclear talks in Vienna who could ease sanctions on his enemies, Iran.
He was accepted by Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan in his personal palace, where they exchanged greetings before going inside for the conversation.
The visit came 15 months after UAE was rich in bankruptcy with several decades of Arabic consensus and diplomatic bonds forged under a series of transactions ordered by Abraham.
Bennett, who arrived late on Sunday and is expected to focus on the trading link, according to his spokesman, said his visit reflects the “new reality” for the Middle East.
“In my opinion, this …
new reality of this region witnessed, and we worked together to ensure a better future for our children,” he told the official UAE news agency.
Israel also increased diplomatic efforts on new talks in Vienna with Iran, for the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
Bennett has called for talks to be stopped, accusing Tehran from “nuclear extortion” and billing will use any income from sanction assistance to increase military warehouses that can endanger Israel.
