QUDS, Jan. 27 (YPA) – A senior Emirati official outlined on Tuesday the broader regional implications of UAE-Israel relations, describing them as part of an effort to “reshape the entire region.”

During a speech at the Israeli Knesset, Ali Al-Nuaimi, head of the World Council of Muslim Sages based in Abu Dhabi, emphasized that the UAE-Israeli relationship should be understood in a comprehensive framework.

He noted that the Abraham Accords should go beyond political and security aspects, representing a key factor in regional transformation.

He stressing that the goal extends beyond bilateral relations to changing the region as a whole.
