Israel said \u2018terrorist organisations\u2019 were motivated to exact revenge on it due to its recent military campaigns against Iran and in Gaza.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Israel\u2019s National Security Council (NSC) has sharpened its travel warnings for Israelis visiting and staying in the United Arab Emirates, citing a heightened risk of \u201cterrorist organisations\u201d carrying out attacks in the Gulf State.<\/p>\n

In a statement published on Thursday, the NSC cited a growing threat from \u201cterrorist organisations (The Iranians, Hamas, Hezbollah and Global Jihad)\u201d attacking Israeli targets, motivated by Israel\u2019s military operations in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are driven by heightened motivation to exact revenge following Operation Rising Lion<\/a>, in addition to the anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian incitement which has intensified since the start of Operation Iron Swords<\/a>, and even more so in response to Hamas\u2019 starvation campaign,\u201d it said, using the names for its military assaults on Iran and Gaza.<\/p>\n

Israel is facing mounting international pressure over Gaza\u2019s ongoing starvation crisis<\/a>, caused by the Israeli military\u2019s months-long blockade on aid entering the Palestinian enclave.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the UAE became the most prominent Arab state in 30 years to establish formal ties with Israel under a United States-brokered agreement dubbed the Abraham Accords. The country\u2019s Israeli and Jewish community has grown larger and more visible in the years since the accords were signed.<\/p>\n

But the NSC statement said \u201cpast experience\u201d has taught Israel that \u201cterrorist organisations often focus their efforts in neighbouring countries\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn light of this, the NSC is reiterating the possibility that they will try to carry out attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets in the UAE, especially on Jewish holidays and Shabbat,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

The NSC\u2019s travel alert for the UAE \u2013 which remains unchanged at level 3 \u2013 strongly advises against non-essential travel and urges Israeli citizens to \u201cseriously reconsider\u201d visiting the Gulf state.<\/p>\n

While the UAE is viewed as one of the safest places in the Middle East, three people were sentenced to death<\/a> there in March for the murder of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi.<\/p>\n

The Abu Dhabi Federal Appeal Court ruled that the November killing of 28-year-old Zvi Kogan \u2013 a representative of Orthodox Jewish organisation Chabad in the UAE \u2013 was committed by the defendants in pursuance of a \u201cterrorist purpose\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
