its part, the UAE officially announced on June 26 last year the launch of joint projects with Israel in the medical field and the fight against corona, and on the same day, Israeli media revealed that Abu Dhabi supplied Israel with 100,000 virus testing devices.
This came a day before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his country’s cooperation with the UAE in fighting Corona, despite the absence of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
