Netanyahu: Jordan cancels first visit to UAE

SANAA, March 13 (YPA) – Israeli occupation prime minister has postponed a historic visit to the United Arab Emirates because of “difficulties” in co-ordinating his flights over Jordan, BBC reported, citing the office of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Benjamin Netanyahu was due to fly to Abu Dhabi on Thursday to meet its crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed.

But his office said authorities in Jordan held off granting permission to use its airspace for several hours.

The move “apparently stemmed” from the cancellation of a trip to Jerusalem by the Jordanian crown prince, it added.
