Israeli and Emirati companies did not wait for the signing in Washington to begin forging relationships.
A delegation from Tel Aviv went to Abu Dhabi two weeks ago and the first agreements were signed in the fields of health, universities and finance.
The trade potential between the Gulf states and Israel is significant.
The Emirates and Bahrain are particularly interested in Israeli technologies and particularly biotech, agritech or even security.
The Israelis, for their part, are interested in Gulf oil.
They also hope to see new investors arrive in their startups.
In total, trade between Israel and the Gulf states could exceed $ 4 billion within a few years.
$ 500 million in contracts could even be signed in the coming weeks.
