DUBAI — Emirati Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence Omar Sultan Al Olama says at the inauguration of Israel’s Dubai consulate that the ties between the countries “will foster a more stable and secure region.”
“The UAE and Israel are creating a new paradigm of cooperation in the entire region,” he adds, highlighting joint efforts on COVID-19 and technological innovation.
Olama says that the ties between the partners “are slated to grow.”
“Our two countries will usher in a next phase that will be a model for countries everywhere. ”
The ceremony is also attended by Israel’s Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, Emirati Ambassador to Israel Mohammad al Khaja, Israel’s envoy to the UAE Eitan Na’eh and local Chabad Rabbi Levi Duchman.
Lapid is in the United Arab Emirates for the first official visit by an Israeli minister to the Gulf state.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
