Israel's business and finance sectors aren't the only ones eager to work with the United Arab Emirates now that a peace agreement has been inked.

Each season of "Goalstar" follows a soccer team comprised of celebrities and tracks it for a season. The teams undergo training and compete in matches, as well as being assigned challenges.
"Goalstar" has been running since 2012. Previous shooting locations include Mexico. Thailand, Argentina, and Brazil.
According to reports this week, negotiations with a number of Emirati productions companies are in full swing. If the deal is closed, this would be the first Israeli TV show to film in the Persian Gulf region.
"[Production company] ADD and HOT are excited, both as businesses and at the national level, to be cooperating with the UAE for the 10th season," the company said in press release.
"Given the success of the series in Israel and the [peace] agreement that has been signed, we can't wait to work with our UAE colleagues in their amazing country," the announcement added.
