After the announcement of a peace deal the first commercial flight from Israel to the UAE has landed.
Marking a major step in normalising relations the El Al airliner made the three-hour trip, carrying a delegation of Israeli and US officials.
The commercial flight was given permission to cross KSA(Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia) airspace, normally blocked to Israeli air traffic for a long time.
Since its founding in 1948, the UAE has become only the third Arab country in the Middle East to recognise Israel.
At the start of this month, the 2 countries opened direct telephone call services for the 1st time in history.
After that, the UAE removed a law of boycotting Israel which had been in place since 1972.
