Maj.-Gen. Amikam Norkin, the commander of the Israeli Air Force (IAF) visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Sunday, in the first public visit by an IDF official to the Gulf state.
The air chief met with his Emirati counterpart Ibrahim Nasser Muhammed al-Alawi, who had made his first visit to Israel last month when he was invited to oversee the IAF's international "Blue Flag" exercise.
Norkin also visited the Dubai Airshow, where Israeli companies displayed their hardware for the first time at the event following Israel's normalization of diplomatic ties with the UAE last year.
