December 05, 2022 – ABU DHABI: Israeli President Isaac Herzog met with the United Arab Emirates President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan today, reassuring him that “the Abraham Accords are a national consensus in Israel on all sides of the political spectrum,” as a government that includes the far-right prepares to take power. The two met in Bin Zayed’s private home in Abu Dhabi.
“Now we have to reach cruising altitude,” Herzog told Bin Zayed. “To upgrade ties between us even more, to strengthen them and bring more nations into the Abraham Accords.” Bin Zayed told Herzog, “We built a solid bridge between the countries we can both be proud of.” He also told his Israeli counterpart that Herzog should consider the UAE his “second home.”
Following their meeting, Herzog was scheduled to head back to Israel after a two-day trip to the region that also saw him visit Bahrain, another Abraham Accords signatory.
