The Israeli regime has threatened to halt flights to and from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and warned of a “regional crisis” if the Arab country fails to accept its aviation security arrangements in Dubai.

According to Reuters, a senior Israeli official said the regime’s transport minister Merav Michaeli extended a deadline over an aviation security dispute on Tuesday, giving Dubai a month to agree to Israel’s terms.

The current arrangement was due to expire on Tuesday.

At the same time, Israel increased pressure on the UAE over arrangements at Dubai International Airport.

The Israeli official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, warned that Israel could eventually end its aviation cooperation with the UAE.

“If El Al can’t fly to the Emirates, then Emirati companies can’t land here,” said the official.

“The crisis could be regional, not just bilateral,” the Israeli official said, citing UAE’s cornerstone role in the normalization of relations between Israel and a number of Arab countries. “It could have a huge impact.”

Since they reached the so-called Abraham Accords at the White House in August 2020, Israel and the UAE have signed a raft of deals in various areas, ranging from tourism to aviation and financial services.

Top Israeli authorities have made unprecedented visits to the UAE. The regime’s prime minister Naftali Bennett made the trip in December last year, while Israeli president Isaac Herzog visited Abu Dhabi over a week ago.

Direct El Al, Israir and Arkia connections from Tel Aviv to Dubai were established under the 2020 normalization deal, as a result of which hundreds of thousands of Israelis have visited the UAE commercial hub since.

But Israel’s Shin Bet spy agency has warned that the three national carriers would stop operating at Dubai International Airport if its security requirements were not met there.

Emirati state carrier flydubai also operates direct Dubai-Tel Aviv flights. Dubai airline Emirates and UAE’s Etihad Airways have also been looking to launch flights to Israel.

While Shin Bet has suggested that UAE capital Abu Dhabi could serve as an alternative to Dubai for the Israeli carriers, the senior Israeli official ruled this out, saying Abu Dhabi was not a good option economically.

“Abu Dhabi may be an option security-wise, but it is not an economic option,” the official said.

Israel has a long history of conducting massive espionage operations in other countries.

Back in 2010, the Israeli spy agency Mossad assassinated the co-founder of Hamas military wing Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades Mahmoud al-Mabhouh at Al Bustan Rotana hotel in Dubai.

UAE diplomatic issues with different countries is capable of hurting their economy in one way or the other Yemen is not smiling with them.

UAE is a troublemaker. They have also been having problems with Nigeria too. They did not want Air Peace landing at Dubai international airport but they want their airline flying out of Lagos and Abuja international airports multiple times a week. UAE seems to be a very hostile country and if they continue in the path they are threading, they will end up shooting themselves in the foot both economically and diplomatically.

From trying to arm twist African countries to daring a tech Super power...
I hope they remember it's the Israelis that gave them the spying software called "Pegasus"? A software that spy on anyone within your communication reach!

Dubai is a Indian colony. A mubai in Middle East.

Isreal loves espionage… UAE is being careful but Nigerians will toe the religious line… Thinking Israel is a Christian country.

Reyters is a very useless news outlet.
