Emirati airline Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has canceled its participation in Israel’s Independence Day flyover this year, amid Arab condemnation of Temple Mount and Old City violence, according to the Israel Pilot’s Association.<\/span><\/p>\n

It tweeted that it had “received a message today from #WizzairAbuDhabi that it will not be able to participate in the Independence Day flight in Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The announcement was made shortly after the announcement of the summoning of the Israeli ambassador to Abu Dhabi for a conversation at the Foreign Ministry in the United Arab Emirates.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are sorry for this decision,” it explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

Etihad Airways, also of the UAE, made a similar announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAE’s participation in the flyover had been intended to hight the increased cooperation between the two countries, which had normalized ties in 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcements came as the UAE Foreign Ministry summoned Israel’s Ambassador Amir Hayek over police actions against Palestinian rioters<\/a> on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and in the Old City. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hayek, who is Israel’s first ambassador to the UAE arrived there in October of last year and this is the first time he has been summoned. He met Tuesday with Minister of State for International Cooperation Reem bint Ebrahim Al Hashimy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Monday similarly spoke with Israel’s Deputy Ambassador Sami Abu Janeb<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>on the same issue. <\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday Al Hashimy told Hayek that full protection must be given to Palestinian worshipers on the Temple Mount, known to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif.<\/span><\/p>\n

She asked Israel to preserve the sanctity of the al-Aqsa Mosque and “expressed concern over the escalation of tension that threatens stability and security in the region,” according to her office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Al Hashimy underscored the importance of respecting Jordan’s custodial role on the Temple Mount. She spoke of the need to resume a peace process for the “establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital in accordance with legitimate international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The UAE, like Jordan, has been concerned that Israel is disrupting the status quo on the Temple Mount, a charge that Israel has denied.<\/span><\/p>\n
