Palestinians again refuse planeload of virus aid from UAE

Seems like fake news at this point. I don't think it was ever intended for the PA.

My understanding is that it was intended and made it to Gaza.

The PA controls anything going into Gaza as Hamas doesnt have "diplomatic relations" with Israel.
That includes all goods and patients being sent to Israeli hospitals.

The UN brought it to Gaza.

Because Hamas also wants to play the game. Right now they're accepting it under the radar.

Israelis want stability in Gaza.

+1 Israel just wants status quo.
USA pulled funding from Hamas because of overzealous right-wing Jews in Trump/Kushner circle. Israel got Qatar to step up, but now they're withholding funds until Israel quashes the Taylor Force lawsuits against Qatar

My first guess would be that flight would be to AUH rather than DXB.

If indeed LY, will they fly over KSA airspace? If yes that might be a primary purpose.

Press report says Abu Dhabi.
No comment about KSA, but if I had to bet id say they will get overfly permission. With Bibi already talking about 'working' on it last week, I can already picture the PR he will do next week

And since it's AUH rather than DXB I would say it belongs in the Etihad thread rather than the Emirates thread.  ;D

I'm also guessing that KSA overfly will be granted, and as I said, that might be the main purpose of the flight.
