Emirate passenger plane skims Israel’s skies for first time

A passenger plane from the United Arab Emirates has crossed Israel for the first time, making its way from Milan to Abu Dhabi.

A video captures the Etihad plane making its way over Israel. It’s as exciting as it sounds.

Transportation Minister Miri Regev says Israel and the Emirates are working hard to get direct flights between the countries off the ground.

Israel already hosted two Etihad planes earlier this year carrying coronavirus aid for Palestinians.
