Israel, UAE sign first free trade agreement

Israel and the UAE signed on Tuesday a free trade agreement in Dubai, which is the first of its kind between the Hebrew state and an Arab state, in one of the most important economic results of the normalization of relations between the two economic powers less than two years ago.

 

This as Israeli ambassador to the UAE Amir Hayek tweeted “Mabrouk” (congratulations) with two copies of the free trade agreement as well as a photo for a number of Emirati and Israeli officials following the inking of the agreement.
