In a conversation with i24NEWS, a source close to the United Arab Emirates attacks the conduct of some Israeli sources:
"In Israel they are talking about 'rescue flights' from the Emirates. Rescue flights is a term for a country that is dangerous to be in. This is absolutely not the case. Everything Israel asked for - the Emirates said "yes". The company FlyDubai agreed to fly to Israel, as part of other protocols like that of Etihad, but the Israelis said 'no'."
