Since the signing of the agreement to normalize relations between the Zionist regime and some Arab countries, the volume of trade between Tel Aviv and these countries has multiplied.
Since the signing of the normalization agreements between some Arab countries and the Zionist regime in 2020, trade between the regime and these countries has witnessed an unprecedented growth. Official data confirms that trade with many countries in the first seven months of 2021 more than tripled compared to the same period last year.
According to Rai Al-Youm, new data show that trade between Israel and the Middle East and North Africa has grown significantly this year following the normalization of Tel Aviv’s relations with other Arab countries.
In the first seven months of 2021, Israeli trade increased by 234 percent over the same period in 2020, according to figures from the Israeli Central Statistics Service and quoted by Jonathan Gonen, the regime’s foreign ministry intern.
According to the data, trade with the UAE increased from $ 50.8 million between January and July 2020 to $ 613.9 million in the same period in 2021.
Last year, the UAE was the first Arab country to sign a normalization agreement with Tel Aviv. Before that, in 1979, Egypt and in 1994, Jordan were the only Arab countries that had diplomatic relations with the Zionist regime.
According to the report, trade with Jordan also increased from $ 136.2 million to $ 224.2 million this year, trade with Egypt from $ 92 million to $ 122.4 million and trade with Morocco from $ 14.9 million to $ 20. $ 8 million increased.
According to available data, there was virtually no trade between Tel Aviv and Manama in the first seven months of 2020. But in the same period this year, the amount of $ 300,000 was recorded. Israeli sources said the figures had been received.
Israeli sources explained that the figures do not include the tourism and services sector.
In connection with the above and according to the i24NEWS website, there are some exports that were made to the Persian Gulf countries in 2012 and 2013, although these exports were basically hidden and hidden from view and there was no official relationship between the two sides. Available data show that the value of trade between the Gulf States and the Hebrew government in 2018 was more than one billion dollars.
Israeli sources say that none of Israel’s foreign trade records show that there is direct trade between Tel Aviv and the Gulf states, despite the rapprochement between Israel and countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. However, in analyzing this, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change confirms that Israel sends its products to third countries and from there these products are transferred to the Persian Gulf countries. In this way, the value of trade between them is close to one billion dollars.
According to the report, although at that time there was no formal relationship between Israel and the Arab Gulf states, Saudi Arabia had previously drawn up a plan to normalize relations by allowing aircraft to cross its airspace.
