Newly appointed UAE Ambassador to Israel Mohammad Mahmoud Al Khaja says that he will work to tighten relations between Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi.
“The vision which begins today is one which seeks a more flourishing, more stable future,” Al Khaja says as he presents his credentials to President Reuven Rivlin.
By partnering with Israel, the United Arab Emirates is offering “a new civilizational approach” which aims “to open the door to new opportunities.”
“The two nations have a shared mission: to establish peace and security throughout the region,” Al Khaja says.
ِAl Khaja says that he will work to increase relations in culture, business and education between the Emirates and Israel.
“I will make every effort to make these relations ever tighten, to close the gap between the two countries and their people,” he says.
“Our two countries have the largest and most important economies in the region,” he adds, saying that Israel and the UAE have collaborated in fighting COVID-19.
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.
