KATHMANDU: The historic Abraham Accord signed between Israel and the UAE is expected to be a boon for business and geopolitical stability.
Speaking to international journalists at a Zoom meeting on Wednesday, Eliav Benjamin, the Director of the Coordination Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel, said the agreement has been touted as a “win-win” situation for Israel and UAE, which he claimed has been expected to be a boon for business and geopolitical stability.

With this, Israelis and Emiratis will be engulfed in charm offenses, dreams of travel and business.
The agreement also vows to establish normal relations between Israel and the UAE which also include business relations, direct flights, tourism, scientific cooperation, full diplomatic ties at the ambassadorial level.
