'Israel to open first mission in Abu Dhabi'

This is apropos news item 'Israel to open first mission in Abu Dhabi' carried by Business Recorder on its front page on Saturday. How unfortunate and ironic it is that Israel is set to open a mission in Abu Dhabi as part of an international green energy body, Israeli officials said Friday - its first official presence in the United Arab Emirates.
According to the news report, the mission will operate under the International Renewable Energy Agency, of which Israel is a member, foreign ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon told AFP. It further said that establishing a permanent presence in Abu Dhabi will not change Israel's official relationship with the UAE, which does not recognise Israel and has no diplomatic ties with the Tel Aviv. This important development brings to one's mind the fact that Qatar, also an Arab Gulf state, established trade relations with Israel in 1996, but as of 2015 Qatar does not recognize the sovereignty of Israel, and the countries do not have a full diplomatic relationship!
