Netanyahu 'concerned Israelis will misbehave in UAE': report

The Israeli leader has backed the publication of a "code of conduct" for Israeli visitors to the UAE, Israel's Kan public broadcaster reported. 

The idea was initially floated by Tourism and Strategic Affairs Minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen, according to the Times of Israel. Farkash-Hacohen's team had drafted a team of  "dos and don’ts", which Netanyahu described as "very important".

"I suggest that you really educate the Israelis," Netanyahu was quoted as saying. He reportedly objected, however, to the guide being called a "code of conduct".

The cabinet discussions come as several Emirati airlines prepare to begin regular flights to and from Israel.

Earlier this month, the UAE and Israeli ratified an agreement to exempt citizens from countries from the need to obtain pre-approved visas.
