Israel Foreign Ministry welcomes UAE Hebrew tweet
In a tweet on Friday, the UAE Director of Strategic Communications, Hend al-Otaiba Friday promoted an op-ed in an Israeli paper by the UAE ambassador to Washington, which strongly urged Israelis to choose between annexation and normal relations with the Arab world. Israel’s foreign ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat commented: “What a nice surprise to read a tweet in Hebrew!” She added: ”Israel has extended the hand in peace to its neighbors since its creation. The US Peace Initiative is a starting point to realize that vision.”
