Lapid called the embassy opening historic and said it sends a signal of peace, adding that Israel wants peace with all its neighbors.
In August, 2020, Israel established full diplomatic relations with the UAE, following Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994. Since then, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco, have also signed normalization agreements with Israel.
