Normalization continues: Two companies from Israel and the United Arab Emirates recently signed a cooperation agreement to develop a test kit for the presence of the corona virus, which aims to achieve results in a shorter time. This was reported tonight (Sunday) on the news site "National" in the Arab Federation.

The agreement was signed between the Arab Apex National Investment and the Israeli TeraGroup, exactly the same week that Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi reached a historic breakthrough, and a decision to normalize relations between them.

Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about the "Abraham" agreement, mediated by the United States. "Today opens a new era in Israel's relations with the Arab world," he said, "I had a historic conversation with Trump and with the Crown Prince of the Arab principalities. In this conversation we decided on the establishment of an official and complete peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. The United Arab Emirates is one of the most powerful countries in the world. "

Netanyahu added at the time that "the agreement will include trade, tourism, aviation relations, including direct flights between Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi. The United Arab Emirates will invest very significantly in Israel in developing the corona vaccine, and this will include investment in energy, water and a variety of other areas."

This is not the first official cooperation between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, but the first signed after the announcement of the establishment of relations between the two countries. Last June, Netanyahu revealed during a speech at the graduation ceremony in Hatzerim, saying: "Cooperation with the United Arab Emirates will be in the fields of research and development, technology, in areas that will improve health security throughout the region. This is a result of long and intensive contacts in recent months. "In our region. The stronger we are, the more powerful we are, the more we deter our enemies and bring our friends closer."
