Israel rejected a proposed arms deal from the United Arab Emirates due to recent rapprochement with Iran, an Israeli newspaper revealed on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The refusal to sell the UAE the Iron Dome and what is known as David’s Sling, both used to intercept short-range and winged missiles, came after the Persian Gulf state allowed Iranians to "enter and move freely in its territory," reported <\/span>Israel Hayom<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The purchase value of the defence system amounted to billions of dollars, the newspaper said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Israel, however, does fear that the UAE could resort to blackmailing through exploiting Israeli fears from Iran, the paper reported, adding that Abu Dhabi could bolster its ties with Tehran to pressure Israel into accepting the deal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Israeli daily spoke of Israeli and Western dissatisfaction with the UAE over helping Iran to bypass economic sanctions by doing trade with Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Iranian officials are also using Emirati banks to carry out their business and all this is happening "without the UAE government moving a finger", according to Israel Hayom<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

This has worried Israel, which normalised its ties last year with the UAE.<\/span><\/p>","content_source":"","content_url":"","content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2021-12-13 08:58:40","content_date_finish":"2021-12-13 08:58:40","content_date_register":"2021-12-13 09:16:13","content_date_last_edit":"2021-12-13 09:16:20","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"0","content_show_related_img":"0","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"1","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"0","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"0","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"2613595166","attach_date_register":"2021-12-13 09:16:12","attach_id":"498107","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"1024","attach_img_height":"683","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"1","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"492","visit_date_last":"2025-05-08 23:04:37","attach_title":"Israel refuses to sell Iron Dome to UAE over Iran rapprochement\n 2","node_title":"news,Political,Latest news,West Asia","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53},{\"node_id\":136, \"left\":29, \"right\":32},{\"node_id\":144, \"left\":49, \"right\":50},{\"node_id\":149, \"left\":59, \"right\":60}]"}]]
