United Arab Emirats – Dubai’s police chief says travellers, suspected of being Israeli will not be allowed into the United Arab Emirates even if they arrive with alternative passports.

Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim says the move comes after the killing of a Hamas operative in Dubai, blamed by the Emirates authorities on Israel’s Mossad spy agency.
Gen. Tamim said a 26-member team used European and Australian passports to enter the country in January and kill Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
The Emirates will now “deny entry to anyone suspected of having Israeli citizenship,” Gen. Tamim said at a security conference in Abu Dhabi Monday.
It was unclear if the measure would apply to Israeli athletes competing in international sports events being held there.
This will resurrect the old question of ‘Mihu yehudi’ or, more to the point, ‘Mihu yisraeli’.
why is killing a terorist worse then harboring one? this guy was protected by dubai for years… and they think they should get away with it? this is nuts.
someone has to put a red dot in this guys forehead. it will look good on his diaper
Wow– pretty harsh. What are all those poor Israelis going to do on their vacations now that the world’s #1 tourist destination has been closed to them?
I think Israel should deport all arabs that do not partake in the country (excluding Israeli arabs who pay taxes and serve).
Many people fly with Emirates, to Australia, the Far East and South Afriva.
Wondering if it would effect these travelers.
Would be good idea deny entry to all Arabs suspected to have UAE citizenship to Israel.
“Israeli” code name for “Jew”
And the Arabs cry that we are the oppressors
Oh well, there go my vacation plans.
Good riddance, who in their right mind would want to travel to your crappy little country anyways. You have nothing to offer.
So they will use soldiers of fortune.
It’s Purim, their attempts will backfire. The gov’t of Dubai just put in another nail in their economic coffin.
how will they tell if somone is israeli
Many flying to australia stop in Dubai….but if its just for a few hour stoppover they don’t even check passports of leave the airport…so shouldn’t be a problom
Amazing how they they can’t swallow this successful operation and keep foaming at the mouth…
Get a life , losers!!!!
And the UN is quiet, shhhhhh….
I like his Purim Costume. Specially his shmate on his head. Wow every day he comes up with new purim vertlach. Somebody has to remind him its after Purim to stop drinking.
the israelis were looking for it, now they get it……. and what about members of “n’teere karta” are they being let in?
Like this would stop a hit team. The Dubai police are trying to save face. Every piece of information coming out now should have been known the first day. But the Arabs love dragging this out no matter how stupid and unprofessional it makes them look. Your country is bankrupt, construction has stopped, you just sprung a leak in the aquarium in the Dubai mall but this distracts your population from overthrowing your joke of a leader. Sheikh Mahtoom is so unqualified to be a leader. That’s how the police chief got his job. By picking the least qualified.
From Whom? you will never be secured guarding terrorist. Guaranteed.
Israel should be fine with this, but Dubai must also stop using all products made or invented in or by Israelis. Lets see how their country holds up to that. By the way does anyone really think the Mossad would have left so many clues behind?
OK, we’ll trade. All the Jews in Dubai for all the “Palestinians” in ISRAEL. 1,2,3, GO.
I could never understand how any Israeli would vacation in an Arab land. And this is especially true for Mitzrayim. Hashem takes us out of there with a yad chazaka and a z’roia n’tuya, only to have Jews voluntarily go back 35 centuries later.
This proves how scared they are and how POWERLESS they are to stop more such cases.
The fools however don’t realize that the Mosad can do what they have to do using people of any nationality, even using Arabs too.
An Arab will do anything for a buck and most are so dumb that they will even do it for free if you promise them 70 zonas waiting for them in “heaven” (actually in hell).
All dumb Arabs regularly kill themselves for such shtusim and there are billions of such Arab-fools available at the Mosads disposal.
The Mosad does not need Israeli’s to do their “dirty work” for them.
if the israilies want to get in they will get more false passports ,,,,so the fact that uae is not alowing israilies to get in dosnt bug them off if they need to take care of busnes
Why just why would a Jew from any country want to or need to go to Dubai?
