Israeli Prime Minister (PM) Benjamin Netanyahu will attend the welcoming ceremony for the first commercial flight that will arrive at Ben-Gurion International Airport, according to his spokesman Ofir Gendelman.

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.
