We are in the midst of a prolonged war ― the coronavirus war.
This is a war for the economy, for health and again ―
this is a war for life.
We know that by us as well, the pandemic is expected to exact
an additional very heavy price in human lives.
I regret telling you this but it is the truth.
And it is precisely at this time that I tell you:
Only if we stand together, only if we fight together,
only if we adhere to the rules together ― only then will
we defeat the pandemic, and we will defeat it.
This is what we did in all of Israel's wars and this is what
we did in the first wave of the coronavirus.
Normalization of relationships between Israel and the UAE
and Bahrain was a new dynamic that can contribute significantly
to the regional stability.
Surely the developments in the last period, with the deals that took
place between Israel, the Emirates and Bahrain are an important
development that will lead to increased communication
and support with the hope of reaching lasting regional
peace based upon international laws and the elements
agreed upon by the United Nations or the Arab League,
including the Arab Peace Initiative.
