Naftali Bennett’s office says he will meet UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will travel to the United Arab Emirates to meet the Gulf state’s de facto ruler, in the first-ever visit to the UAE by an Israeli prime minister.
Bennett will depart for the high-level public visit on Sunday and will meet Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan before returning to Israel, Bennett’s office said.
There was no immediate confirmation from the UAE.
The two countries formalised relations last year as part of a US-brokered agreement known as the Abraham Accords. The agreement has led to a raft of deals ranging from tourism and business to cutting-edge technology.
