A decision will come when Israel announces the opening of an embassy in Abu Dhabi months after countries have controversially normalized ties.
The cabinet of the United Arab Emirates has approved the establishment of an embassy in Tel Aviv in Israel, state media reported, as Israel announced the opening of their embassy in Abu Dhabi.
The UAE controversially agreed to normalize relations with Israel in August, amid fears that Palestinians who have long feared the weakening pan-Arab situation move are calling for Israel to withdraw from the areas on which he lives illegally and accept Palestinian statehood as a result of normal relations with the Arab. countries.
Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco have all followed in the footsteps of the UAE and agreed to establish ties with Israel, in treaties broken by the administration of former US President Donald Trump.
The Palestinians criticized the agreements as a “stab in the back”.
No further information was provided about the UAE embassy to Israel. The Israeli government sees Jerusalem as its capital, although that is not recognized by the majority of the international community.
Palestinian leaders want to take over East Jerusalem as the future capital of the Palestinian state. Most countries have embassies in Tel Aviv.
A statement from Israel’s foreign ministry said the Israeli embassy in Abu Dhabi officially opened on Sunday when the country’s ambassador arrived there, although it was in a temporary position until permanent buildings were found.
Since formally regulated ties in September, the two countries have already established direct flights and several exchange representative bodies, while thousands of Israeli tourists have visited the UAE.
The ministry also said that Israel will open an interest stake in Morocco and a consulate in Dubai. He said an embassy in Bahrain has been in operation for several weeks.
