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 for 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.
In the hope that 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 economic sector and his plans to move 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 succeeded in rescuing Israel from two severe economic crises.
When examining Netanyahu’s economic plan for the upcoming elections, it appears that the UAE, on behalf of Mohammed bin Zayed, is the biggest supporter of Netanyahu’s economic plan.
This includes one of the “five mega-projects” he spoke about over the weekend, the $ 10 billion fund set up by the UAE to invest in Israel, and private investment by the ruling family.
Netanyahu told 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 epidemic.”
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.
