| Israeli minister on Dubai visit calls for 'peace' |
| 2018-10-31 |
| [DAWN] Israel's communications minister called for "peace and security" on Tuesday during a visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as his country launches an unprecedented diplomatic push into Gulf states. "Peace and security in every state with economic and scientific progress is what guarantees a future for the coming generations," Ayoub Kara said at a telecommunications conference in Dubai. Kara's statement comes amid a diplomatic push by Israel in the mainly Sunni Gulf, which Israel sees as an ally against Shia power Iran. It follows visits by Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Oman on Thursday and Culture Minister Miri Regev to Abu Dhabi at the weekend. Neither Oman nor the UAE has diplomatic ties with Israel. |
