President Isaac Herzog speaks out against Iran as he concludes his historic visit to the United Arab Emirates.
“There are only two alternatives for this region. One is peace, prosperity, cooperation, joint investment and a beautiful horizon for the people, or else what Iran is doing, which is destabilizing the region and using its proxies to sow terror,” he said, according to a readout from his office. “These are the two alternatives, and this visit symbolizes hope, peace and a great future for our nations, the region and the world at large.”
Herzog speaks a day after the UAE shot down a ballistic missile fired by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
To conclude their two-day trip, Herzog and his wife visit the massive Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.
