On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister (PM) Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman announced that the first commercial flight from Israel to United Arab Emirates (UAE) took off from Ben Gurion international airport, according to Russia Today (RT).

Last Thursday, UAE's state-owned flydubai airline launched earlier on Thursday its first direct flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv.

It is worth mentioning that, The UAE and fellow Gulf state Bahrain in September became the first Arab states in a quarter of a century to sign agreements to establish formal ties with Israel, forged largely through shared fears of Iran.
