Following the release of the Oknin couple, it is possible to expand on the assistance of the third state in the political contacts, published in "Israel Today".
As part of Israel's attempts to secure the release of the couple, a request was made to the head of the UAE's National Security Council, Sheikh Tahanon Ben Zaid.
The head of the Emiral National Security Council has excellent ties with senior intelligence and intelligence officials in Turkey, as well as among senior government officials in Ankara and associates of Turkish President Erdogan.

Israeli officials made it clear that they had never worked or acted in any of Israel's security intelligence frameworks.
The United Arab Emirates is convinced that these are indeed innocent citizens who were arrested for no wrong in their hands and promised to assist in attempts to free them and deport them back to Israel.
