A high-level meeting between UAE officials and the Israeli Ministry of Transportation, scheduled for this week, was canceled on Sunday. The meeting was intended to address the findings of an initial investigation into an attempted attack on a Flydubai flight, but the results have not yet been presented to Israeli authorities. The Ministry of Transportation concluded its preliminary inquiry into the near-disaster, though many details remain unclear. The reason for the cancellation is not definitively known, with conflicting accounts emerging. One version suggests the UAE learned of Transportation Minister Miri Regev's planned attendance and wished to avoid the meeting being perceived as a political event. A second version claims the meeting was canceled at the minister's request. Regardless of the cause, the immediate consequence is that the Emirati airline will not resume flights to Israel, and Israeli airlines will not return to the UAE, leaving the Tel Aviv-Dubai route inactive.
