U.S.-Israeli delegation lands in Abu Dhabi on historic visit
A U.S.-Israeli delegation, led by White House adviser Jared Kushner, arrived on 31 August, 2020, in Abu Dhabi on the historic first commercial flight from Tel Aviv to mark the normalisation of ties between the Jewish state and the UAE.
Kushner is President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and a key architect of his West Asia policy.
Saudi Arabia allowed the “historic” flight to cross its airspace.
The agreement to normalise ties was announced by Mr. Trump on August 13, 2020, making the UAE the first Gulf country and only the third Arab nation to establish relations with Israel.
Unlike Egypt, which made peace with its former battlefield enemy in 1979, and Jordan, which followed in 1994, the UAE has never fought a war with Israel.
The talks in Abu Dhabi aim to boost cooperation between the two regional economic powerhouses in areas including aviation, tourism, trade, health, energy and security.
UAE repealed a 1972 law boycotting Israel. “It will be permissible to enter, exchange or possess Israeli goods and products of all kinds in the UAE and trade in them,” read a decree issued by UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.
