Which routes have BE?

Why is it that to
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, & Yemen, there are 2 free bags,

but to
Israel, the 2nd bag is $100?

I was going to say because people in Israel can actually afford it as opposed to those poverty stricken countries, but then I remembered that people in UAE & Qatar could probably afford it too

Just a matter of competing with the other airlines in the market

Because the ME3 (QR, EK and EY) don't fly to Israel.
