The agreement, an initiative of the Health and Foreign Ministries, will see Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi join forces on several fronts, including in the fight against pandemics as well as the cybersecurity and data protection fields. The agreement will also see the enactment of large-scale joint economic and health-related projects.

Israeli officials in attendance at the signing of the accord included the director of the Health Ministry's International Relations Division, Dr. Asher Shalmon, Israel's UAE Ambassador Eitan Na'eh, and Israel's special envoy to the Arab Gulf states Zvi Heifetz. On the Emirati side, UAE Health Authority chief Yusuf Muhammad Elsarkel attended the event.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein, who signed the agreement, said the accord would "bolster Israel's healthcare system" in the coming years.

Israel and the United Arab Emirates signed their historic deal normalizing relations at a White House ceremony on Sept. 15, 2020.
