As the UAE does not officially recognize Israel, and does not allow Israeli citizens or those suspected of being Israeli citizens entry into the UAE, including Israeli passport holders, except for transit. However third party nationals with Israeli stamps or visas in their passports are allowed entry.[36] There are no direct flights between Israel and the UAE, so all flights must stopover in a third, neutral country (such as Jordan),[2] and no Israeli aircraft may enter UAE airspace.[1] Such restrictions do not apply in Israel, though the UAE bars its citizens and aircraft from entering Israel.
