Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cancelled a visit to the United Arab Emirates on Thursday over “difficulties” in coordinating the flight with Jordan.
A statement from the premier's office said he "was expected to visit the United Arab Emirates today but, due to difficulties in coordinating his flight in Jordan's airspace, the visit was postponed."
Israel and the UAE established ties last year.
Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan subsequently reached similar US-brokered agreements with Israel.
Earlier Thursday, the hospitalization of Netanyahu’s wife cast doubt on whether the UAE trip would take place.
Sara Netanyahu was hospitalized with an appendix infection at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center, the hospital said.
An official in Netanyahu's office said she had felt unwell and was taken to the Hadassah Medical Center, where she will remain hospitalized for several days.
