OVDA, Israel — Israel has held the “Blue Flag” exercises every two years since 2013 in the Negev desert.Other nations taking part this year include France, the United States and Germany, as well as Britain, whose aircraft flew over Israeli territory for the first time since the Jewish state’s creation in 1948.
Ibrahim Nasser Mohammed Al Alawi, commander of the United Arab Emirates air force, landed in Israel on Monday, the Israeli army said in a statement. Agreements that saw Israel normalise ties last year with several Arab countries, including the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco, “opened a variety of opportunities”, Lazar said Sunday.Shared concern over common foe Iran was widely seen as a factor that spurred the UAE towards Israel.
