Former Minister Ayoob Kara: “Israel will establish public relations with Arab and Gulf countries after a year.”
Former Israeli minister Ayoob Kara revealed today, Sunday, that all Israelis will be able to establish political and economic interests and visits during the next year with and to the Gulf states.
Mr. Ayoob added in an interview on “Another Hadith” program on “i24NEWS” channel that his recent visit to the United Arab Emirates was historic and great, stressing that public relations “will come out after the presentation of the American peace plan.”
The minister added that he had started relations with leaders and officials in Bahrain, noting that the circumstances surrounding the US President, Donald Trump and the outgoing Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu “postponed the issue of public normalization.”
And on the idea of extending the gas pipeline from Israel to Saudi Arabia, he emphasized readers that the Kingdom is able to implement these ideas on the ground and that the proposal was made by a Gulf country.
The minister did not answer a question asked by the broadcaster regarding his meeting with Netanyahu, the Saudi crown prince, Prince Muhammad Salman, saying that such a question cannot be answered because of the sensitivity of the issue.
Ayoob added that he is working with an Arab Gulf company to arrange future visits to Israel from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and after a while, Muslims with Israeli passports will be able to enter Mecca for the Hajj with their passports.
The former Likud minister concluded by saying that an Emirati prince visited Israel and treated his wife in a hospital in the country, stressing that he had visited Qatar earlier and met its leaders and officials.
The words of Mr. Ayoob came in the program “Another Hadith” by Lt. Col. Muhannad Nabil, who hosts the most prominent political and security figures in Israel and the Palestinian Territories.
