Israeli Foreign Minister (FM) Yair Lapid announced on Sunday the appointment of Amir Haik, as Israel's new Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), replacing Eitan Na'eh who had been the acting envoy.

 

In a tweet, Lapid hailed the wide experience of Haik in the economy and tourism fields, stressing that he "is the right man to institutionalize the bridge between Israel and the Emirates."

Last month, Lapid officially inaugurated Israel’s embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The ceremony was attended by Emirati Ambassador to Israel Mohammad al Khaja, Israel’s envoy to the UAE Eitan Na’eh, and local Chabad Rabbi Levi Duchman.
