Israel's flag carrier El Al canceled two special repatriation flights from Dubai on Friday after Emirati authorities refused landing permission, the airline said. The flights were meant to bring Israelis home after FlyDubai suspended service, leaving travelers stranded and raising questions about a rare public friction point between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

Why now: The cancellation signals possible strain in Israel-UAE relations and disrupts Israeli travelers trying to get home.
