Days after Israel and the United Arab Emirates reached a historic deal to normalize ties, Israel’s president has invited the UAE’s de facto ruler, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to Jerusalem.
"I am full of hope that the agreement being drawn up between our countries will help build and strengthen the trust between us and the nations of the region,” President Reuven Rivlin tweeted Monday, saying he sent a formal invitation to the Emirati royal. “In my letter, I wrote that I have no doubt that future generations will appreciate how brave and wise leadership restarted the discourse on peace, trust, dialogue.”
