Presidential senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner was among a group of top U.S. and Israeli officials who travelled to the United Arab Emirates from Israel on Monday in the first direct flight operated by an Israeli airline to the Gulf kingdom.

The U.S. and Israeli delegations flew from Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport to the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, for meetings with their Emirati counterparts after Israel and the United Arab Emirates agreed to normalise relations on Aug. 13 in a U.S.-brokered deal.

The diplomatic breakthrough between Israel and the UAE has been touted as a foreign policy victory for President Donald Trump ahead of November's Presidential election, as well as for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who, if the agreements are signed, will be the first Israeli leader to officially normalise relations with a Gulf state.

Officials on the Boeing 737-900 that is emblazoned with the word 'peace' in Hebrew, Arabic and English also included National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien and an Israeli delegation headed by National Security Advisor Meir Ben-Shabbat.

"I prayed yesterday at the wall that Muslims and Arabs from throughout the world will be watching this flight recognising that we're all children of God and that the future does not have to be predetermined by the past," Kushner told reporters before boarding the El Al flight, in an apparent reference to the Western Wall, the last remaining part of the second temple of the biblical period and the holiest site where Jews can pray.

The captain of the aircraft, Tal Becker, told reporters ahead of the 11:21 a.m. local time (4:21 a.m. ET) departure that he had never dreamed he would pilot a flight to Abu Dhabi. The flight touched down in Abu Dhabi at 3:38 p.m. local time (07:38 a.m. ET).

Before take off, Becker confirmed that the plane would fly through Saudi airspace and the flight was expected to take three hours and 20 minutes. If it was not going over Saudi Arabia it would have been more than a seven hour flight, he said.
