Israel’s Growing Peace & Prosperity

The repercussions of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine are being felt around the globe. Israel is no exception. Ukrainian Jews, among those fleeing the conflict, are getting in line to immigrate to Israel. In Israel there is growing concern about the nation’s future relationship with Russia. It now has permanent military bases in Syria to the north and Russia is a key player in the nuclear negotiations with Iran. Meanwhile, Israel is making peace with its Arab neighbours and is positioned to benefit greatly from tightening global natural gas supply and its ability to offer alternative energy security to countries concerned about Russia. On April 1st, Israel and the United Arab Emirates announced the completion of negotiations and the signing of a “milestone” free-trade agreement.
