The Israeli ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Amir Haik, who submitted his letter of credence to the Vice President of the UAE yesterday, said in an interview with Galei Tzahal: "The ceremony was exciting. For the first time, the Israeli national anthem was heard and the flag waved in the royal palace.
He said, "The Emirates want to see more Israelis, and we too should strive for them to come to Israel. We need to get to know each other better."
