An Etihad Airways cargo plane carrying aid from the United Arab Emirates to help the Palestinians combat the coronavirus pandemic landed in Israel on Tuesday, Israel's Foreign Ministry said. It was the second direct commercial flight flew between the two countries in a month. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner decorated in the Gulf airline's markings arrived at Ben Gurion International Airport carrying humanitarian aid provided by the UAE. Last month, an unmarked Etihad commercial flight carrying medical equipment for the Palestinians landed in Israel — the first-ever direct commercial flight between the UAE and Israel. Israel's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that “the aid will be transferred to Gaza and the (Palestinian Authority) by the UN and COGAT,” Israel's military body coordinating with the Palestinians. It said the plane's arrival was coordinated with Israeli authorities. Last month's flight marked a moment of cooperation between Israel and the UAE after years of rumoured back-channel communications over the mutual concerns about Iran and other matters.<br/>
