Despite all the criticism, trade ties between Israel and Arab countries do not appear to have suffered.
Of all the countries in the region, the UAE does the most business with Israel followed by — in order of the value of bilateral trade in 2022 — Jordan, Egypt, Algeria, Morrocco and Bahrain.
According to monthly statistics on foreign trade for August 2024 collated by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, the amount of trade — exports and imports — that those countries do with Israel has remained mostly positive this year.
