Top UAE minister urges strategic shift in Arab-Israel ties; boycott was mistake | |
2019-03-30 | |
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." | |
