In response to the assassination of a senior Hamas figure in a luxury Dubai hotel in January 2010, Dubai officials have announced that Israelis will be prohibited from entering the country, even those entering on foreign [non-Israeli] passports.
Dubai Police Chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim is blaming Israel’s Mossad Intelligence Agency for the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh and he has announced that as a result, Israelis are not being permitted into the country.
According to the most recent reports from Tamim, at least 26 assassins were part of the Mossad team, with the senior official firm in his accusations despite the fact that Israel remains silent and the Mossad has not accepted responsibility for the assassination.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference earlier in the week, Tamim stated Dubai will “deny entry to anyone suspected of having Israeli citizenship”.

Oh Gosh! – There go my plans for Pesach!
It’s all Israel’s fault. They should have issued an extradition order to Dubai requesting that they turn the terrorist Mahmoud al-Mabhouh over to them for trial in Israel. Ha,Ha,Ha, Purim Shpiel.
Dubai refuses to have a civil relationship with Israel. So, what other choice did Israel have in order to apprehend a vicious criminal? In a decent world society Israel should be able to proclaim, “Yes, we did it, and we’re proud of it.”
I did not know so many Israelis were clammoring to get into Dubai.
They are collapsing under a mountain of debt, anyway.
Is this not a completely racist policy? If a black man had killed him – would all black people be barred from entering dubai?
And is this not collective punishment- the very same punishment they scream about when Israel inflicts it on the palestinians?
where are all the civil-rights voices, when Israeli’s are treated unfairly?
This guy is wasting his talent…
He should be doing commercials for Clorox bleach!
What a genius. They use foreign passports anyway, remember? I’d love to know what the crime rate is in Dubai. . . .
#3, Dubai? Debt? I hadn’t heard of this. Please explain.
HaLeiVi, the Associated Press reported a few weeks ago that Dubai was going bankrupt. Don’t you read anything else besides the headlines of the New York Crimes?
