Israel United Arab Emirates | Israeli Prime Minister Naphtali Bennett visits the United Arab Emirates for the first time; Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Saeed Al Nahyan Meets Naftali Bennett Arrives in Dubai Makes History, Israeli Prime Minister’s First Official Visit to the UAE

Israeli Prime Minister Naphtali Bennett shook the world on Sunday. Bennett said on Sunday morning that he was going to visit the United Arab Emirates (UAE) today. Only a few months have passed since the beginning of diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. It is hoped that Bennett’s visit will be a major step in strengthening relations between the two countries.

Following Bennett’s visit, some media reports said that Saudi Arabia could soon begin diplomatic relations with Israel. Israel was created in 1948. This is the first time since then that an Israeli Prime Minister has visited the United Arab Emirates. Naphtali Bennett arrived in Abu Dhabi on Sunday evening, according to the AFP news agency. On Monday, he will meet with Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Saeed Al-Nahyan.

The Israeli Prime Minister, who arrived in the United Arab Emirates, was thus welcomed.

Arrivals were in doubt until the evening, the UAE did not confirm
What is special about this matter is that although the Prime Minister of Israel and later his office informed about this official visit, no report came from the United Arab Emirates until the evening. This is also shocking because of the presence of the United Arab Emirates Embassy in Tel Aviv.

The Abraham Treaty between the Gulf States and Israel was signed on 15 September 2020. The then US President Donald Trump was accompanied by former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Meeting with Prince Nahyan
He will arrive in Dubai and meet with Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Saeed Al Nahyan, according to a statement from Naphtali Bennett’s office. The meeting is scheduled for Monday. Diplomatic relations between the two countries began last year. Earlier, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco also established diplomatic relations with Israel. The then US President Donald Trump made several attempts to achieve this, claiming that this was a new era of peace in world history. For this the Abrahamic covenant or the Abrahamic covenant was made. Israel and the United Arab Emirates have signed two agreements on tourism and technology.

What is the benefit of Bennett’s arrival?
Talks between Israel and the United Arab Emirates have been going on since last year. It is hoped that key agreements will be reached at the military level during Bennett’s visit. Both countries have views on Iran seeking to become a nuclear power. Israel can also help the UAE a lot in intelligence. Soon Saudi Arabia may join Israel because every Arab country sees Iran as its biggest threat. All the countries in the Gulf are Sunni Muslims, Iran is a Shia majority country.
