Israel's president says the country supports the security needs of UAE

Jan 30, 2022: According to a Reuters report, during his first visit to the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, the Israeli president said his country supports the security needs of the Gulf state and wants more countries in the region to join its new detention with the Arab world.

The UAE signed routine US-brokered agreements with Bahrain in 2020, dubbed the “Ibrahim Accords”. Isaac Herzog discusses security and bilateral relations with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, the de facto ruler of the United Arab Emirates.

The United Arab Emirates has been hit twice in the past 15 days by drones and missiles, claimed by the Iranian-linked Houthi group in Yemen. Israel has responded by offering security and intelligence assistance to the UAE against further drone strikes.

“We completely support your security requirements … We are here together to find ways and means to bring full security to people who seek peace in our region,” Herzog said during the meeting, in comments released by his office.

Sheikh Mohammed said Israel and the UAE share a “common view of the threats to regional stability and peace, particularly those posed by militias and terrorist forces”.

Riyadh has not yet followed in the footsteps of its Gulf neighbors in normalizing relations with Israel, but Israeli officials have expressed hope that this will happen.

“The Abraham Accords should be continued and more nations should join us,” Herzog said.

Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas, which opposes countries normalising with Israel, said such visits “encourage the occupation to continue escalating its aggression against our Palestinian people and denial of their rights”.

The heads of the Manufacturers Association of Israel and of the Israel Export Institute, travelling with Herzog, discussed a $10 billion fund set up under the Abraham Accords and how the UAE might help Israel find new Middle Eastern and Asian markets, the Association said.
