President Isaac Herzog is speaking out against Iran while concluding his landmark visit to the United Arab Emirates.
“There are only two alternatives for this region. One is peace, prosperity, cooperation, joint investments and a beautiful horizon for the people, or alternatively, what Iran is doing, which is destabilizing the region and using its proxies to employ terror,” he says, according to a readout from his office. “These are the two alternatives, and this visit symbolizes hope, peace, and a great future for our nations, the region, and the world at large.”
Herzog speaks a day after the UAE shot down a ballistic missile fired by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
Wrapping up their two-day trip, Herzog and his wife visit Abu Dhabi’s massive Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
