Telephone service between the United Arab Emirates and Israel has begun as the two countries opened diplomatic ties
Telephone calls began ringing Sunday between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, marking the first concrete step of a U.S.-brokered diplomatic deal between the nations that required Israel to halt plans to annex land sought by the Palestinians.
in this city-state, the calls represented so much more than just the convenience of being able to directly dial loved ones in Israel. Since Thursday’s announcements, Associated Press journalists had tried to make calls between the nations without success. But around 1:15 p.m. Sunday, AP journalists in Jerusalem and Dubai could call each other from landline and cellular phones registered to Israel’s country code, +972.
Israeli Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel issued a statement “congratulating the United Arab Emirates on removing the blocks.”“Many economic opportunities will open now, and these trust-building steps are an important step toward advancing states’ interests,” Hendel said.
