I wonder if they will also ease restriction on prior Israeli travel. Does anyone have any info or can venture a guess? A number of years ago I was given bad information in that regard by a US Embassy official, and applied for a UAE visa. Fortunately, only (a copy of) my application was stamped and returned 'Persona non grata,' and not my passport. That led to my obtaining a second virgin passport, which I have to maintain to this day (also for travel to other Gulf states).
