Prime Minister Yair Lapid will host UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan tomorrow, the Prime Minister’s Office announces.

Bin Zayed’s visit coincides with the second anniversary of the Abraham Accords ceremony in Washington DC, during which Israel signed a pact with the UAE and Bahrain on the White House lawn.

Lapid will receive the UAE’s top diplomat in his office in the afternoon, where they will hold a private meeting, then a broader working meeting with their aides, before both giving public statements.

UAE Ambassador to Israel Mohamed Al Khaja is hosting a reception in Herzliya Pituach later in the evening. President Isaac Herzog and his wife, Michal, will be in attendance, as will Bin Zayed.
