A day before the first delegation from the United Arab Emirates is scheduled to visit Israel, the Emirati cabinet has ratified the agreement establishing full diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The UAE cabinet, headed by Dubai ruler Mohammed bin Rashid, formally approved the deal on Monday. In a statement, Emirati officials said they hoped the Abraham Accords would serve as a “tributary of peace and stability to support the aspirations of the region’s people, and enhance their relentless pursuit of prosperity and progress.”
