Last week, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister MK Sharren Haskel departed for Abu Dhabi with an official delegation to meet with senior Emirati officials as part of the five-year anniversary of the signing of the Abraham Accords.
The Foreign Ministry said that Haskel’s visit was meant to “continue strengthening and deepening relations between Israel and the UAE, expand cooperation in the economic, political and security spheres, and advance the expansion of the Abraham Accords to additional countries in the Middle East and around the world.”
While there, Haskel gave a keynote speech at an international conference organized by the European Leadership Network (ELNET), where she spoke about the future of the Abraham Accords, expressing her belief that the accords will expand.
“We understand that in the next years the Abraham Accords will be expanded,” Haskel told JNS while visiting Abu Dhabi.
“The fact that the Abraham Accords held on is a type of insurance policy towards the furthering of this relationship and the building of trust between the two sides,” she said.
“The Emirates have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to peace with Israel and opened the door for other nations to choose peace as well.”
After coming back from the trip, Haskel spoke with The Jerusalem Post about the Abraham Accords, where she expressed hope for the future of the accords, saying the people in the UAE “are really looking for a future without extremism.”
