Israeli minister greeted with honor in Oman (video)

Here is a tweet from Israel's Minister of Transportation Yisrael Katz showing his reception in Oman with a traditional Arab sword dance.

כך התקבלתי כשר ישראלי בקבלת פנים חמה ופומבית ״במחול החרבות״ בעומאן, חזון אחרית הימים וביטוי לחיזוק מעמדה של ישראל באזור. מחר אציג את תוכנית ״מסילות לשלום״ בפני שרי האזור. pic.twitter.com/MdkoBTaEaC

I don't get the impression that the dance is meant to be an insult or a threat. 

Katz is expected to present a plan for a railway that would link the port in Haifa to existing railways in the Gulf.

The astounding thing about both this and the videos of Sports and Culture Minister Miri Regev also in Oman touring the Sheikh Zayed Mosque is that Israeli officials are being treated with more respect and less fear of public backlash in Oman than in the states that Israel has official peace agreements with, Egypt and Jordan.

It is widely expected that the next Arab country that Israeli PM Netanyahu will visit is Bahrain.
