1494) Israel-United Arab Emirates (UAE) Peace Agreement, Israel: Israel Coins and Medals Corporation (ICMC) has issued Gold and Silver State Medals of Israel commemorating this historic Agreement: Year of issue: 2020:
Israel Coins and Medals Corporation (ICMC) has issued a State Medal struck in fine Gold and Fine Silver commemorating the historic Agreement between their nations.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) located in the North-east of the Arabian Peninsula in the Persian Gulf, is a Federation of seven Arab-Muslim States - rich in oil. Its small population counts about ten million citizens, out of which only about one and a half million are UAE citizens. The others who live and work there, come from outside the UAE to make a living there.
The new Agreement will bring endless new trade opportunities for Israel, increasing its export volume, strengthening tourism and mutual economic growth, while the United Arab Emirates will benefit from many advantages throught the establishment of relations with Israel. This ground-breaking Agreement will result in economic, technological and state cooperation creating a "new Middle East".
The new peace era brings hope for Israel, the Arab world and the entire world.
