I don\u2019t like the place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen was quick to counter the comments with his own tweet: \u201cI [love] Dubai, and so do one million Israelis that visited the UAE last year,\u201d and added emojis of peace between the two countries. The Gulf Arab state was a key player in the signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020, agreeing to establish diplomatic relations with Bahrain and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>However, Israeli relations with its Arab neighbors have become strained in recent weeks, with far-right members of the coalition that helped return Benjamin Netanyahu to the prime minister\u2019s office responsible for delivering several blows. Cohen&#8217;s tweet was followed by a statement from Netanyahu\u2019s office on March 12 saying that \u201cIsrael and the UAE maintain fruitful political relations in all fields, including today,\u201d in response to a report that Emirati officials had warned Jerusalem that the behavior of Netanyahu\u2019s coalition was impeding cooperation between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>This foreign policy dispute has come against the backdrop of an intense domestic dispute over a judicial reform law that opposition leaders regard as an effort to assert political control over the judiciary. The overhaul is championed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and was launched following a deal to secure his participation in a coalition to give Netanyahu a parliamentary majority.<\/p>\n<p>Jordanian officials and Emirati officials criticized Smotrich for his statement that denied the existence of the Palestinian people while standing at a podium with a map of greater Israel that included Jordan and parts of Syria. State Department spokesman Vedant Patel called the comments \u201cdeeply concerning and dangerous\u201d. Despite the controversy, Netanyahu\u2019s team and the Israeli Foreign Ministry have reiterated Israel&#8217;s commitment to peace with Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>After her speech, Regev tweeted that she had accepted an invitation to Dubai and accused the media of misrepresenting her comments: &#8220;A few minutes ago, I spoke with my friend, the ambassador of the UAE, Mohammed al-Khaja. He also understood what the media was trying to do, taking things out of context. The attempt at a conflict between the two countries became an invitation for another visit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8216;Read More From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense-national-security\/israel-minister-insults-uae-arab-israeli-accords-acrimonious\">&#8220;Israeli minister insults UAE as Arab-Israeli accords turn acrimonious&#8221;<\/a>&#8216;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel&#8217;s transportation minister, Miri Regev, targeted the United Arab Emirates with a barb that sent her colleagues scrambling to protect relations with one of Israel\u2019s most important Gulf Arab partners. \u201cI\u2019ve been to Dubai,\u201d Regev said Wednesday. &#8220;I won\u2019t be going back.
