On 28 August 2020, President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa, President of the United Arab Emirates (the UAE), issued Federal Decree Law Number 4 of 2020, abolishing a ban on business and trade dealings with Israel that had stood since 1972. In doing so, the UAE has become the first Gulf nation to normalise its relations with Israel and only the third Arab nation to do so, alongside Egypt and Jordan.

Law Number 4 follows the Abraham Accord announced only a few weeks ago and the speed with which relations have thawed has surprised and delighted businesspeople in both jurisdictions: Businesses in the UAE can now enter openly into direct commercial agreements with their Israeli counterparts, to import, exchange, possess and trade in Israeli products in the UAE and to trade in them.
