Israel and UAE settle security dispute, enabling Dubai flights to restart
Israel and the United Arab Emirates have resolved a security disagreement, allowing at least ten Israeli airline flights to return to Dubai on Monday.
After a standoff over airport security measures, Israel and the UAE reached an agreement that clears the way for Israeli carriers to operate a minimum of ten flights from Dubai. The dispute centered on the Shin Bet's demand for baggage scanners at the airport. With the issue settled, passengers can travel between the two nations once again starting Monday.
