Netanyahu thanks Oman, Bahrain, Egyptian leader for supporting UAE deal
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks several Arab countries and leaders for publicly supporting Israel’s normalization pact with the United Arab Emirates announced yesterday.
“I thank Egyptian President [Abdel-Fattah] el-Sissi and the governments of Oman and Bahrain for their support of the historic peace treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, which is expanding the circle of peace and will be good for the entire region,” Netanyahu says in a statement.
Israel has had a peace deal with Egypt since 1979, and Oman and Bahrain are reportedly next in line to sign normalization deals with the Jewish state.
