The Israeli Maariv newspaper reported that the UAE Foreign Ministry informed the Israeli Foreign Ministry that the visa exemption agreement has been suspended until July 1, 2021 to limit the spread of the Corona virus, which could negatively affect relations between the UAE and the Entity.

The occupation’s government had approved on November 22, 2020, the exemption of Emiratis from visas to entering the Israeli entity after the UAE had informed the occupation of its approval of the mutual exemption agreement from visas.
