Israeli in Dubai
Has anyone been successful in getting a Dubai Visa on an Israeli passport?
Is there any problem getting into Dubai for an Israeli holding an American passport (born in Israel, Passport issued in Israel)?
Thanks,

As per information on their embassy's website in the US:
All Americans with U.S passports(Tourist Passports) valid for more than six months are welcome to enter the UAE, and no longer need to obtain a visa to enter the country if the duration of stay is less than one month. This includes US citizens with visas or entry stamps from other countries.

It's been that way for years now.
Even some Israelis lacking dual citizenship have gone to Dubai. For some -- but not all -- Israeli-only nationals who have legitimately entered Dubai, the travel document for entry into the UAE has often been issued in a third country or in the UAE. To acquire such document for entry into the UAE, such persons should seek out an invitation from a privileged party.

As for your comment on people with only Israeli citizenship, whatever may have happened, there's still no official UAE policy allowing basic entry (with visa obviously).

Yep, the UAE embassy website here in the UK used to actually specify that Israeli stamps aren't a problem, that disappeared when they had a revamp though.

There is is an official UAE policy about entry into the UAE. It's a policy that does not ordinarily allow entry for most of the segment of Israelis holding only Israeli citizenship, but it does allow entry for some of the segment.

On the contrary. The UAE having policies about such is not new. It has been the situation for years now.
On the contrary. Although if you want to assume to know what I do know and do not know, your above claim is not a surprise even as it would remain a fiction and based on the fictional power of mind-reading.
... and what does that change?
The UAE rather routinely allows Israelis into the UAE when the Israeli uses a non-Israeli travel document -- it is anything but rare.
And the UAE has a policy for allowing into the UAE a small segment of Israelis with only Israeli citizenship -- that is the policy even as most of the segment of Israelis with only Israeli citizenship are not in a position to get entry on the basis of such UAE policy.
