Inaugurating embassy in UAE, Israel tells region: ‘We’re here to stay’ – Reuters

| July 3, 2021

DUBAI, June 29 (Reuters) - Israel's new foreign minister inaugurated its embassy in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday and offered an olive branch to other former adversaries, saying: "We're here to stay."

The trip is also an opportunity for the two-week-old Israeli government of Naftali Bennett, a nationalist who heads an improbable cross-partisan coalition, to make diplomatic inroads despite long-stymied talks with the Palestinians.

Questions of the relationship of these books to the wider Ancient Near Eastern world are also of concern, as well as issues of history settlement, state formation, monarchy, forced migration, and return and of literary redaction and reception, not to mention theological reflection on texts, traditions, and culture
