The Warm Peace between Israel and the UAE Is a Victory for Us All
(Jerusalem Post) Hasan Saleh al Mujaini - We are at the gates of a historic era of peace between the State of Israel and the United Arab Emirates. The hearts of both Israelis and Emiratis are filled with joy after news of the historic agreement between our two countries. In the UAE today there is a real desire to get to know Israelis better and most residents of the UAE are excited to visit Israel. Likewise, let me assure you that whenever you visit the UAE you will be warmly welcomed in our country. Although we have empathy for the Palestinian people, it is regrettable that instead of grasping this opportunity to advance their own situation, their leadership has yet again dismissed an outstretched hand for real and meaningful change. We must grasp this opportunity and use it as a foundation for a broader peace between Israel and the Arab world. The writer is a senior executive at the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
