With Israel and the United Arab Emirates set to sign the historic deal to normalize relations at a White House ceremony on September 15, Israeli officials in Tel Aviv have proposed trilateral co-operation among Israel, UAE and India.

Speaking to a media representatives, Gilad Cohen, Deputy Director General of the Asia Pacific Division of Israeli Foreign Ministry, said: "We are talking to the Indian Government about trilateral co-operation in areas such as agriculture, technology and water. The combination of the three countries can be for the benefit of all three sides."

Israel plans to engage the world with a fresh outlook to foreign policy after UAE became the first Gulf country to establish ties with Israel and only the third Arab nation after Egypt. This also comes as Kosovo (in Southeast Europe) becomes the first Muslim majority nation to open an embassy in Jerusalem.
