"We stand with you shoulder to shoulder"Lapid bin Zayed: My friend…Together we will change the face of the Middle East

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid met with UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed in Jerusalem and they discussed strengthening cooperation and expanding trade exchanges.

The parties discussed the continuation of economic development and cooperation in the fields of agriculture, energy, water resources, food security, etc., and also stressed the desire to build relationships with other countries in these areas.

The Israeli Prime Minister presented the UAE Foreign Minister with a copy of the Torah translated into Arabic, calling the visit “a historic visit to a regional leader”, saying it was “a visit to a close and dear friend with whom I can talk about everything”, and that it is “a visit to a strategic partner that will strengthen economic and security relations between the two countries.” Our two countries” and will work to “strengthen the regional structure we built last year in the East.”

Lapid noted that the common goal of the two parties is to turn “the relationship between our two countries into a bond between our peoples, and the relationship between our governments into a bond between companies.”

Lapid told bin Zayed, “My friend, together we are changing the face of the Middle East. We are changing it from war to peace, from terrorism to economic cooperation, and from the rhetoric of violence and extremism to a dialogue of tolerance.”

Lapid referred to an attack the UAE suffered last January (claimed by Yemeni Ansar Allah and targeted a fuel depot and Abu Dhabi airport) and said: “Last January, I was horrified, just like” Every Israeli and every civilized person in a drone attack. A criminal pilot over your beautiful country.” He added: “We know which country is behind these attacks.”

“Israel stands shoulder to shoulder with you in the face of any terrorist attack,” Lapid said.
