DUBAI, 15 February, 2021 (TON): Mohammad Mahmoud Al-Khaja has taken the oath in front of the UAE Vice President Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashed, as he has been sworn in as the country’s first Ambassador to Israel, the media reported on Sunday.

For the first time UAE and Israel signed U.S. arranged deal on 15 September, 2020 called as Abraham Accords that established diplomatic ties between the two countries.

Last month Israel officially inaugurated its embassy in the capital of UAE, Abu Dhabi to which Eitan Na’eh serves as an acting ambassador.

While Israel announced its embassy in UAE, UAE, in turn, approved the establishment of the embassy last month.

On his oath, Al-Khaja swore to be loyal to the country, respect the constitution; state’s laws, and its president, and to place its interest above all else.

It is seen that after the first deal between the two countries, several bilateral meetings and visits have been held between both sides, however, other Gulf States might condemn the recent move by UAE.
