Isaac Herzog is making his first visit to the Gulf state and the trip is continuing, despite the UAE confirming it intercepted a missile attack on Monday morning. As he visits Expo 2020, he says passing over Saudi Arabia was a 'very moving moment'.
En route to the UAE, Mr Herzog's plane flew over Saudi Arabia, which the Israeli president said was"a very moving moment".
Mr Herzog's trip will continue, despite increased security concerns after an attack by the Houthi rebelsThe UAE did not say where the missile came down and what happened is difficult to verify as the country's top prosecutor has threatened anyone, including journalists, who films or posts images of incidents like the missile and drone attacks, that they would face criminal charges in the UAE.
The Houthi group, meanwhile, said it had fired a number of ballistic missiles at Abu Dhabi and also launched several drones at Dubai.
