The General Security Service announced on Friday that it had reached agreements with the security authorities in the United Arab Emirates that would allow Israeli companies to continue flying to Dubai. Last month, there was concern that the activity of Israeli airlines on the Israel-Dubai route would be stopped next week, due to a security dispute between the security authorities in Dubai and the Israeli aviation security system.
The Secret service officials said in a statement that the head of the service's security department met yesterday with his emirate counterparts, following meetings held by the head of the service Ronen Bar with his counterparts in the Emirates last week. On a regular and regular basis, "the statement said.
In recent months, disputes have arisen between the security authorities in the two countries "in a way that does not allow the realization of the responsibility for the security of Israeli aviation," according to the Shin Bet. Concern only security arrangements, and are not related to the political relations between the countries.
A senior Israeli source told Haaretz last month that Israel had made it clear to the United Arab Emirates that if the activities of Israeli companies were indeed stopped, it would not allow flights of UAE airlines to land in Israel. This, he said, was to prevent economic harm to Israeli companies and to put pressure on the Dubai authorities to improve security arrangements at the airport. A temporary solution to the crisis, which was not implemented, was to divert Israeli airlines' flights to Abu Dhabi, instead of landing in Dubai.
