Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, responded in a Reshet Bet interview to normalizing relations with Kosovo, saying: "There's a message here for all countries that want relations with the United States. They understand that the way to upgrade their status in Washington is through Jerusalem as well."
Commenting on reports of a planned U.S. arms deal with the United Arab Emirates, Erdan said: "I have thoroughly examined the issue with those involved; Israel has not given its consent to such a deal, not even tacit consent. The United States is committed to maintaining Israel's military technological advantage."
