The Israeli Embassy in the United Arab Emirates congratulated the Emirati leadership and citizens on the country’s 54th National Day, praising Abu Dhabi’s “remarkable path of progress and prosperity” and expressing hopes for further strengthening bilateral ties.

In a social media post on Tuesday, the embassy said it values the UAE’s spirit of tolerance and innovation, while wishing the Gulf nation continued security. It also released a video featuring Tel Aviv residents expressing admiration for Emirati culture and enthusiasm for the growing friendship between the two countries under the Abraham Accords.

The 2020 Abraham Accords normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE, along with several other Arab states, marking a significant shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics.
