This is the first visit by a Prime Minister of Israel to the UAE.
Prime Minister Bennett made the following remarks before boarding the plane:
"I am about to depart to the United Arab Emirates in the first ever official visit of an Israeli Prime Minister.
I will be meeting with Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed. We’re going to be discussing ways to further our cooperation in a number of fields, especially strengthening our economic and commercial ties.
In just one year since normalizing our relationship, we’ve already seen the extraordinary potential of the Israel-UAE partnership.
This is just the beginning."
