“We are pleased to announce the relaunch of ‘Israel in the Gulf’ page which aims to promote dialogue between Israel and the Gulf nations,” the ministry said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“We hope this virtual embassy will contribute to deepen understanding between the peoples of the Gulf and the people of Israeli in various fields,” it added.<\/p>\n

Ofir Gendelman, a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>, took to Twitter before the relaunch to urge the Gulf followers to follow the page “with a view to promoting dialogue between you and us”.<\/p>\n

While Israel does not maintain any diplomatic relations with any of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC<\/a>) nations, analysts say some of the countries are not opposed to normalising ties with Tel Aviv.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In October, Netanyahu paid a surprise visit<\/a> to Muscat following an invitation by Oman<\/a>‘s Sultan Qaboos.<\/p>\n

Shortly after that visit, Israeli Minister of Culture and Sports\u00a0Miri Regev attended a judo tournament in Abu Dhabi, where the Israeli anthem was also played.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Israeli officials who recently visited the Gulf include Communication Minister Ayoub Kara, who gave a speech during a telecommunications conference in Dubai on October 30.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Netanyahu has frequently spoken about growing Arab-Israeli relations over the last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
