UAE Parliament Members Visit Israel

Parliament members from the United Arab Emirates are visiting Israel. The delegation is led by Dr. Ali Al Nuaimi is chairman of the Defense Affairs, Interior and Foreign Relations Committee of the United Arab Emirates’ Federal National Council, and head of Hedaya, an international organization for counter-extremism.

The lawmakers will visit the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, on Monday. They are also scheduled to meet with the Israel-UAE friendship group and the Knesset Caucus for Advancing the Abraham Accords. They are also scheduled to meet with researchers in think tanks, academics and community leaders.

“This is a visit to cultivate further work together and promote peace, to do more when it comes to our relationships between our two nations and our people, to discuss initiatives that help combat extremism and hate, to cultivate coexistence. This means not only meeting counterparts in the Knesset and government ministries but the true influencers of our time in think tanks, the guardians of peace behind the scenes who can safeguard a common future,” Al Nuaimi wrote in an op-ed in The Media Line.
