Travel warning for Israelis in United Arab Emirates 'Reinforced'

Israel warns citizens against non-essential UAE travel due to heightened terror risks from Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah. Stay informed.

"Terrorist organizations are working more vigorously to harm Israel – Israel's National Security Council"

Tel Av

iv [Israel], August 1(ANI/TPS): Israel's National Security Council (NSC) today (Thursday), reinforced the travel warning for Israelis in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The reinforcement was made against the background of the understanding that terrorist organisations (the Iranians, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Global Jihad) are working more vigorously these days in efforts to harm Israel, explained the Council.

It is estimated that there is a growing motivation to take revenge after Operation "Rising Lion," in addition to growing anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian incitement since the beginning of the "Iron Swords" war and even more so following Hamas's "starvation campaign" in Gaza.

The Council noted that the United Arab Emirates has been under a Level 3 NSC travel warning for a long time. Recommendation to avoid non-essential travel, and therefore it is recommended to seriously consider arriving in this country. (ANI/TPS)

UAE has always been safe for Indians, but tensions in Middle East affect everyone. Maybe time to reconsider vacation plans to Dubai this year...

The article seems one-sided. What about the Palestinian perspective? India has always maintained balanced relations with both Israel and Arab nations.

My husband works in Abu Dhabi. The security there is excellent, but we're still worried after reading this. Maybe Indians should also be cautious.

India should use its good relations with both UAE and Israel to help de-escalate tensions. Our foreign policy team needs to be proactive here.

The timing is bad with many Indian families planning Eid holidays in Dubai. Hope the situation stabilizes soon. Safety first though!
