Arab news outlets are very busy covering the historic flight that carried an Israeli-US delegation from Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi on Monday, the first Israeli flight to pass through Saudi airspace.
The two most widely-distributed newspapers in the United Arab Emirates devoted their front pages to the meeting. Khaleej Times, the country's biggest English-language paper, ran a picture of the meeting under the headline "Salam, Shalom."

Sky News' Arabic channel, which broadcasts from the UAE, invited various analysts and experts to their studio, who praised the nascent deal and encouraged other Gulf states to take similar action.
The state-run Emirati television channels, as well as the kingdom's satellite channels also showed the front pages of various Israeli newspaper, including Israel Hayom, which featured the word "Peace" in Arabic, Hebrew, and English, along with the Emirati, American, and Israeli flags.
The Saudi-owned Al-Arabiyya channel, which is headquartered in Dubai, provided extensive coverage of the delegation's arrival, emphasizing the point that an Israeli plane had, for the first time, flown over Saudi Arabia with permission from Riyadh.
The Qatari Al-Jazeera network, one of the most popular in the Middle East, devoted special coverage to the delegation's arrival, including constant updates. However, Al-Jazeera did opt to focus on two explosions that took place at restaurants in Dubai and Abu Dhabi on Monday.
Al-Jazeera's coverage of the blasts played down the likelihood that they were the result of gas leaks and emphasized that the Emirati security establishment was looking into whether they might be linked to the Israeli-American delegation.
Officials in Ramallah and the Gaza Strip condemned the delegation, saying, "The Emiratis continue to rub salt in the wounds of the Palestinian people who are groaning under the weight of the crimes of the Zionist occupation government, with whom the United Arab Emirates has normalized relations."
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh spoke out against the Israeli-US delegation to Abu Dhabi, saying at the opening of a PA cabinet meeting that "Our hope was to see a plan form the United Arab Emirates that would land in a liberated Jerusalem. It pains us to see an Israeli plan landing in Abu Dhabi … in clear violation of the Arab position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum called Monday a "black day in history," and added that "The group of 'normalizers' won't be forgotten in the history of our peoples. This scene will remain a mark of disgrace on the heads of the normalizers, who will never understand the danger of the Zionist entity."
