President Isaac Herzog meets with new UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan in Abu Dhabi to pay his condolences, after the death of the Gulf state’s leader Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.
“He left behind him a legacy of progress and friendship between the nations of the region and of striving for peace in the Middle East,” Herzog is quoted as saying in a statement from his office.
He also congratulates the new leader on his selection as president.
“You are continuing the path of your brother, in that you brought about a dramatic change following that Abraham Accords you signed with the State of Israel and other countries,” Herzog says, referring to the series of US-backed normalization deals inked in 2020.
“I believe that together we will advance and strengthen the prosperous ties of peace, between us and our countries,” he adds.
Herzog is being accompanied by Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel and Regional Cooperation Minister Esawi Frej.

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.
