"The export of fresh agricultural products from Israel to the UAE markets enjoys a great advantage thanks to the geographical proximity and the ability to quickly transfer the products directly to the UAE markets," said Shlomi Vogel, Chairman of the Carmel Agrixco Company, which specializes in the export of agricultural products in Israel. "We are starting to see the fruits of peace."
A few days ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reviewed, in a speech to the Knesset, what he considered the benefits of normalization, saying, "Look at what is happening now thanks to the peace agreements that we signed ... Ships from the Emirates continue to unload carriers in the Haifa port (north), and an official delegation of Israeli businessmen is now there. In Dubai, agricultural products bearing the Israeli flag are sold in the UAE market. "
