The Emiratis maintain tight control over their country, employing some of the most effective population monitoring tools in the world. These surveillance tools are both developed internally and acquired from countries like Israel and China. And yet, kidnappings and renditions occur at a level that does not align with the government’s capabilities. When Mossad conducted an operation to assassinate a Hamas official in Dubai, Emirati authorities, within days, assembled a detailed timeline showing how 26 Mossad intelligence officers entered the country, the identities they used, and footage of their movements through the airport and into the city. And yet, we don’t seem to receive that same level of information when it comes to countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia conducting operations to kidnap and render innocent people. https://bird.makeup/@barakravid/1860367283975020982
