Israeli media: the United Arab Emirates is Israel’s economic booster and Ben Zayed is Netanyahu’s.
Israeli media also agree that the UAE has become Israel’s economic lifter, while Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s electoral lifter.
With the forthcoming election of the 24th Knesset in Israel scheduled for March 23, Netanyahu is trying to promote an economic plan.
Netanyahu is trying to consolidate his power economically, a fact that is evident in all Israeli public opinion polls.
Hopefully, the economic crisis created by the Corona epidemic will lead the Israeli electorate to support the right-wing camp, which Netanyahu may guarantee the formation of an Israeli government.
Over the past few days, Netanyahu has been reviewing his “achievements” in the economy and his plans to move the wheel of the economy and overcome the corona crisis after the upcoming elections.
Netanyahu has described himself as the most successful finance minister in Israeli history, claiming that he has already managed to save Israel from two severe economic crises.
When considering Netanyahu’s economic plan for the upcoming elections, it appears that the UAE, on behalf of Mohammed bin Zayed, is Netanyahu’s biggest supporter of the economic plan.
This includes one of the “five mega-projects” he spoke about at the end of last week, a $ 10 billion fund set up by the United Arab Emirates to invest in Israel, and private investment by the ruling family. Projects will be focused on.
Netanyahu told the Israeli army radio that bin Zayed “volunteered” to invest in Israel.
He added that the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi told him that he “wants to be involved in projects that will strengthen the Israeli economy after the Corona pandemic.”
Last Thursday, Netanyahu canceled his first official visit to the UAE, citing “difficulties in coordinating his flight over Jordanian airspace.”
Following the cancellation of the meeting, the UAE announced the creation of a $ 10 billion fund to invest in Israel.
The fund was announced the same day after a phone call between Ben Zayed and Netanyahu.
