More on the welcoming ceremony

The official meet and greet on the tarmac is to be followed by speeches from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, UAE Minister of State for Financial Affairs Obaid Humaid Al Tayer and US International Development Finance Corporation CEO Adam S. Boehler.

The UAE delegation will then sit down for a trilateral meeting with the Israelis and a US delegation. Avi Berkowitz, the US administration’s envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, will also attend the meeting.

That will then be followed by a bilateral meeting, also at the airport, with just the Israeli and UAE teams — the first-ever direct bilateral meeting between ministers from the two countries.
