Israel-based broadcaster announced together with UAE-based media conglomerate, a content sharing arrangement following the agreement between Israelis and Emirates to normalize ties.
Ynetnews partner i24NEWS, which broadcasts in French, Arabic and English, and Abu Dhabi Media have signed a memorandum of understanding that allows for shared reporting and archival content.
Frank Melloul, chief executive of i24NEWS, said in a statement the arrangement highlighted "the many possibilities that have opened up to us in the wake of the Abraham Accords".
Under the U.S.-brokered accords, Israel has established ties with UAE and Bahrain, only the third and fourth Arab nations to normalize relations with the Jewish state after its neighbours Egypt and Jordan more than 30 years ago.
The accords have been condemned by the Palestinians as they break with years of Arab League policy which has held that there should be no relations with Israel until it makes peace with the Palestinians.
Israel has already signed a raft of deals with both UAE and Bahrain, ranging from tourism to aviation and financial services.
