Top UAE minister urges strategic shift in Arab-Israel ties; boycott was mistake
2019-03-30
We’ll see more of this sort of thing when President Trump is reelected, especially because Israeli polls are apparently now predicting that Bibi Netanyahu will come out of the election in two weeks with a few more Knesset seats than he went in with.
[IsraelTimes] The Arab world’s boycott of Israel decades ago was a ’very, very wrong decision,’ Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash says.

A senior United Arab Emirates minister on Wednesday called for a "strategic shift" in Israel-Arab ties, saying that Arab world’s decades-old decision to boycott the Jewish state had been a mistake.

"Many, many years ago, when there was an Arab decision not to have contact with Israel, that was a very, very wrong decision, looking back," UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash told the UAE-based newspaper The National in an interview. "Because clearly, you have to really dissect and divide between having a political issue and keeping your lines of communication open."
