Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to make his first official visit to the UAE on Thursday following an agreement between the two countries to establish ties, Israeli media reported.

A senior official in Netanyahu's office declined to comment on the reports.

The reported visit would take place less than two weeks before Netanyahu faces re-election, Israel's fourth vote in less than two years.

According to the Israeli reports, Netanyahu will meet with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.

He will then return to Jerusalem for talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on the vaccination effort against Covid-19.

The United Arab Emirates normalized ties with Israel last September.
