First commercial flight between Israel and the UAE next Monday
This first flight will carry two delegations to Abu Dhabi – the American headed by senior US presidential adviser Jared Kushner and National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, and the Israel team led by NSA Meir Ben Shabat and made up mainly of experts in the fields of aviation, space, health and banking. Although Riyadh’s response to the UAE-Israel normalization deal has been tepid, the Saudis have allowed this epic flight to pass through their air space.
