Sumaiiah Almehiri will be the first student from the United Arab Emirates to attend an Israeli university.

Almehiri, who is from the UAE and Boulder, Col, plans to study nursing at Haifa University in the hopes of becoming a midwife. She is also an electrical engineer who founded the Persian Gulf’s first Arabic-Hebrew language exchange program.

The Israeli consulate in Dubai introduced Almehiri shortly after Israel and the UAE marked the first anniversary of the Abraham Accords.
