Abu Dhabi, Mar 11: The UAE government and the state of Israel have agreed to establish a quarantine-free travel corridor between the two countries. The travel corridor will apply to passengers who are vaccinated against Covid-19. It will also facilitate travel for commercial, tourism, and official purposes.

Meetings between the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs are currently underway to negotiate the terms of the agreement, with the aim of finalizing and implementing the agreement in April 2021.

The two sides affirmed that the establishment of a travel corridor between the UAE and Israel would increase the level of bilateral exchange in the wake of the historic Abraham Accords Peace Agreement and generate additional opportunities to reinforce economic and people-to-people ties.

As the two countries are leading the world’s fastest vaccination campaigns, the UAE and Israel expressed their shared commitment to eradicating coronavirus through effective vaccination and coordination between countries.
