Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed will meet with high-ranking Israeli officials to discuss a number of issues LONDON: The UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, arrived in Tel Aviv on Wednesday for an official visit to Israel, state news agency (WAM) reported. Sheikh Abdullah is traveling with a high-level UAE delegation on his visit, which will span several days and marks two years since the UAE and Israel signed the Abraham Accords. During his visit, he will meet with high-ranking Israeli officials to discuss a number of issues of mutual concern and matters related to UAE-Israel relations and the prospects for their cooperation and partnership. The UAE normalized ties with Israel in September 2020 as part of the US-brokered Abraham Accords that also saw Bahrain and Morocco follow suit. Sheikh Abdullah had visited Israel in March as part of a high-level meeting in the southern Negev desert alongside his Israeli, US, Moroccan and Bahraini counterparts. In late May, Israel and the UAE signed a trade deal that removes customs duties on 96 percent of goods shipped between the two countries. (With AFP)
