Israel’s spy chief visits UAE for talks
Mossad chief Yossi Cohen's visit to the United Arab Emirates is the first such trip by an Israeli official since the two countries announced their historic deal last week.
The head of Israel's Mossad intelligence service arrived in the United Arab Emirates today, Emirati media reported, in what marked the first high-profile visit since the two countries agreed to normalize ties last week.
National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan received Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, whom he praised for contributing “to the success of the peace accord between the UAE and Israel,” the official Emirati WAM news agency said today.
"The two sides discussed prospects for cooperation in the fields of security as well as exchanged points of view on regional developments and on issues of common interest," WAM reported.
According to the Times of Israel, a larger delegation from Israel is expected to arrive in Abu Dhabi later this week.
