The United Arab Emirates is attempting to de-escalate public discourse surrounding the investigation into an incident on a Flydubai flight, preferring the matter be handled away from media attention. An unofficial Emirati source, familiar with the government's sentiment, told Kan News that "the problem is that the Israelis were quick to issue judgments before the investigations even began." This approach, the source stated, "caused displeasure." The Emirati official added that "Israeli statements on the matter weaken the position of Israel's friends," implicitly referring to the UAE. The UAE's Attorney General has ordered the formation of an investigative team to determine if the incident is linked to terrorism and was premeditated. This marks the first time the Emirates have raised the possibility of a planned attack, though the Attorney General's statement also urged the public to avoid speculation until the investigation concludes.
