The UAE has signed agreements worth over $2 billion over the past year to develop infrastructure connecting Jordan’s phosphate and potash regions to the Port of Aqaba. AD Ports Group secured a 30-year concession to operate and expand the Aqaba Red Sea port. These projects link rail, ports, logistics, and industrial exports into a single economic corridor.

UAE-linked entities have pursued similar investments in ports, logistics hubs, and transport corridors across Egypt, Jordan, East Africa, and the Eastern Mediterranean. Companies such as AD Ports Group, DP World, and Etihad Rail are involved in these efforts.

The UAE is positioning itself as a regional connectivity platform linking Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. This approach aligns with the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor plan promoted by Washington.

Israel brings technological talent, infrastructure expertise, and capabilities in AI, logistics software, cybersecurity, and water technology. Israeli institutional investors manage pools of long-term savings that could support infrastructure finance and project funding.

The UAE brings capital, logistics scale, and regional positioning. Together the two sides could form partnerships in infrastructure, technology, and finance. David Alexander, Deputy CEO of Phoenix Financial, stated that Israel and Israeli companies should deepen engagement with the UAE and move toward long-term partnerships.
