Several Israelis have been arrested in the United Arab Emirates for the murder of a compatriot. "Dubai police said they arrested several Israelis after they assaulted and caused the death of another Israeli national," the media office said.

The circumstances under which this incident took place are unclear. An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said an "Israeli citizen of about 30 years old was stabbed to death in Dubai" on Wednesday. The UAE has welcomed hundreds of Israelis since the federation and Israel signed an agreement in 2020 to normalize diplomatic relations.
