Netanyahu’s First UAE Trip Canceled as Jordan Spat Halts Flight Bloomberg 3/11/2021 Alisa Odenheimer and Farah Elbahrawy (Bloomberg) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a first public visit to the United Arab Emirates since the two nations agreed a peace deal as his flight became entangled in a spat with Jordan. Jordan hadn’t authorized the flight path of Netanyahu’s plane over its territory in time, the Israeli leader’s office said in a statement Thursday. Amman apparently was piqued that its crown prince’s proposed trip to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem was scrapped a day earlier after a dispute over security arrangements, it said.
