Pompeo starts Middle East tour in Israel
JERUSALEM - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived in Israel on Monday to start a five-day Middle East tour focused on Israel’s normalising of ties with the United Arab Emirates and pushing other Arab states to follow suit.
In Jerusalem, Pompeo and Netanyahu were due to discuss "regional security issues related to Iran’s malicious influence" and "establishing and deepening Israel’s relationships in the region," the State Department said. President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan, announced in January, forsees cooperation between Israel and those Arab countries which, like Israel, see Iran as their main foe and accuse it of fuelling regional conflicts.
The UAE ambassador to Washington, writing in Israel’s Yediot Aharonot newspaper, argued that closer ties would benefit everybody and "help move the region beyond the ugly legacy of hostility and conflicts, towards a destiny of hope, peace and prosperity". Saudi Arabia, in keeping with decades of policy by the majority of Arab states, has said it will not follow the UAE’s example until Israel has signed a peace deal with the Palestinians.Following their deal, Israel and the UAE say they want to promote trade, especially the sale of Emirati oil to Israel and Israeli technology to the UAE, establish direct air links and boost tourism.
"The Emiratis are saying there was a promise there, the Israelis are saying no," said Joshua Teitelbaum, professor at the department of Middle Eastern studies at Bar Ilan University near Tel Aviv.
