Israeli’s sold the elusive “Dubai dream” could be walking into a nightmare

And the Israeli commerce sector is equally excited for reciprocal trade and commerce, looking forward to openly accepting Arab investors into local activities.

But what does the future hold for unsuspecting Israelis? What are the risks of doing business in the UAE?
