Ben Sabti, an Iran and Israel researcher, said the coordinated reaction of Israel, the UAE and Saudi Arabia to the Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight incident shows that security communication channels between these countries are active and that they can act like an alliance in critical conditions.

He added that the entry of Israeli fighter jets, coordination with Saudi Arabia, and rapid contacts between regional officials show that security cooperation, even between countries that do not have formal peace, exists in practice. Sabti also said that this incident could lead to stricter security assessments by crews of international flights destined for Israel.
