Meanwhile, the Israeli cabinet has unanimously voted in favor of the peace deal with the UAE on Monday. It will submit the agreement for parliamentary ratification.

During the cabinet meeting, Netanyahu stated that he has invited the Abu Dhabi crown prince to Israel and has received a reciprocal invitation to visit the UAE, although no dates were confirmed.

Moreover, the Israeli PM revealed that a high-level UAE delegation, accompanied by US officials will visit Israel within the coming few days, probably this week 'to resume talks on various agreements between both countries'.

Netanyahu also confirmed that he has no doubt more peace agreements between Israel and Arab and Muslim countries are on the way.

A source familiar with the plans for the delegations' visits said that representatives of Israel, accompanied by American officials, will visit Bahrain on October 18 and head to the Emirates the next day before returning to Israel, with an Emirati delegation on October 20 of the same month.
