Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu will reportedly visit the UAE and Bahrain in the next week, that recently established ties with Israel.

According to the details, Netanyahu has planned to pay a three-hour visit next week to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and perhaps Bahrain.

Netanyahu said in remarks: “We postponed the visit … twice because of lockdowns.

“It has great security, national and international importance, but it has been shortened, at my request, from three days to three hours.”

The Israeli premier said he would travel to Abu Dhabi and would also “possibly make a lightning visit to Bahrain” during the brief trip.
