President Isaac Herzog meets Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed during a visit to the royal palace in Abu Dhabi.
“We are sending a message to the entire region that there is an alternative of peace and living together, and that the sons and daughters of Abraham can reside and dwell together in peaceful coexistence for the benefit of humanity,” says Herzog, according to the President’s Office.
Bin Zayed thanks the Israeli president “for your stance regarding the recent terrorist attacks on civilian facilities in the UAE. It is a stance that demonstrates our common view of the threats to regional stability and peace, particularly those posed by militias and terrorist forces, as well as our shared understanding of the importance of taking a firm stance against them.”
The crown prince notes that ties between the countries “are moving full steam ahead, and there is a common and strong will to strengthen them for the benefit of our countries and peoples.”
Herzog says his visit to the UAE, the first ever by an Israeli president, is an expression “of the vision and dream of peace and the spirit of peace, which we bring to the entire region.”
The ties between the two nations, he says, “sends a message to the entire region that there is an alternative of peace and living together, and that the sons and daughters of Abraham can reside and dwell together in peaceful coexistence for the benefit of humanity…. and more nations should join us in this endeavor.”
