These new flights follow the signature of the US-brokered Abraham Accords on September 15. In the Emirates, the Jewish community can now practice its faith openly. By opening borders to Israeli tourists and Jews from all over the world, the authorities also hope to revive several sectors of the economy, hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic.
