The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi spoke to Israel's prime minister about co-operation and stability in the region.
Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, also Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, on Sunday said he had spoken to Benjamin Netanyahu by phone.
The two leaders talked about strengthening ties and "examined prospects for peace and the need for stability, co-operation and development in the region", the Crown Prince wrote in a tweet.
The UAE became the first Gulf country to normalise diplomatic ties with Israel after it formally signed the Abraham Accord in Washington last month. Bahrain also normalised ties and was part of the accord.
"The two sides also affirmed that the normalisation of relations is a step to enhance regional peace, stability and security, and paves the way for a new phase of co-operation," UAE state news agency Wam reported.
"They also expressed their great appreciation for the vital role played by the US and President Donald Trump in reaching a peace accord."
Wam said the two men also spoke of the need to "strengthen co-operation in the fight against the coronavirus, ways to empower youth in the region, the principles or tolerance and co-operation and the importance of dialogue in building friendships and lasting peace".
The Abraham Accord, which halted Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories in exchange for establishing diplomatic ties, was agreed upon in a joint call between Sheikh Mohamed, Mr Netanyahu and Mr Trump on August 13.

Should late investors consider cryptocurrencies?
Wealth managers recommend late investors to have a balanced portfolio that typically includes traditional assets such as cash, government and corporate bonds, equities, commodities and commercial property.
They do not usually recommend investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies due to the risk and volatility associated with them.
“It has produced eye-watering returns for some, whereas others have lost substantially as this has all depended purely on timing and when the buy-in was. If someone still has about 20 to 25 years until retirement, there isn’t any need to take such risks,” Rupert Connor of Abacus Financial Consultant says.
He adds that if a person is interested in owning a business or growing a property portfolio to increase their retirement income, this can be encouraged provided they keep in mind the overall risk profile of these assets.
