First Emirati cargo ship arrives in Israel

ABU DHABI, Oct. 12 (YPA) – The first Emirati cargo ship arrived Monday at Haifa port, northern Israel, since the normalization agreement was signed last September.

The ship, named “MSC Paris”, anchored in the port of Haifa loaded with goods for Israeli investors.

Last month, the Israeli airline “El Al” announced that it would operate the first cargo flight to the UAE on September 16, to be weekly.

At the end of last August, the first commercial flights from Israel to the UAE landed, as the first practical step after an agreement to normalize relations between the two sides.

In June, an Emirati plane landed at the Israeli Ben Gurion Airport, near the city of Tel Aviv, on a direct flight from Abu Dhabi to Israel, just three weeks after another Emirati plane landed at the same airport.
