Tel Aviv: Israel and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to reciprocal visa-free travel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday, making Emirati citizens the first in the Arab world to not require Israeli entry visas.

"We are exempting our nationals from visas," Netanyahu said after the first ever official delegation from the UAE landed in Israel for a day of talks following a US-brokered deal to normalise ties.
