I can see EY flying in due to their various size aircraft. But not EK which I think only uses 777s and 380s.So maybe an Israeli carrier will serve DXB while EY serves AUH Un;rdd EK uses Fly Dubai

The Ruler of Dubai is UAE’s Vice-President and Prime-Minister, he also has veto power on the National Council (i.e. the country’s single legislative and policy-making authority). This is to say that the Emirate of Dubai is fully on board with UAE’s policy on Qatar relations.
The Emirati Dubai elite I speak to seem to think the Qatar embargo is a stupid fight no one win will win because all countries involved are simultaneously too rich and too small / weak to be overwhelmed or to strike a decisive victory.

Flight numbers 971 and 972 represent international dialing codes of the two countries.

Israir is trying to launch charter package tourist service flights from Israel to the UAE from something like the first week of October. But given the Covid-19 situation and other things, those limited October dates and their service may be a sort of moving target.
The following article sort of indicates that El Al cargo flights are more likely to come earlier than scheduled El Al passenger flights:
