Israel Land Authority and the Prime Minister’s Office encouraged and assisted the move.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) purchased land in Israel to build a permanent embassy, KAN, Israel’s public broadcaster, reported on Saturday.
The deal was valued in the tens of millions of shekels, according to the report. KAN added the Israel Land Authority and the Prime Minister’s Office encouraged and assisted the move.
The Emirati mission has operated from leased sites since ties were formalized under the Abraham Accords.
Embassy planned to be in Tel Aviv
The UAE inaugurated its embassy in Tel Aviv in July 2021 inside the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange building, becoming the first Gulf state to open an embassy in Israel.
KAN did not specify the location of the plot or a construction timetable. The UAE Foreign Ministry currently lists the mission in Tel Aviv.
The UAE cabinet approved establishing an embassy in the Israeli city in January 2021, and relations have since expanded across trade, tourism, and technology, even as the war in Gaza has tested ties.
