Interesting thought...I wonder how Qatar is able to opt out of the BOI??? Perhaps the issue is one of those "dont ask, dont tell" types?

Hello all,

I am a Bristish expat based in the UAE and working with a branch of a multinational company. My firm sells a service, not a tangible product.

My boss wants me to develop our business in Israel. He has asked me to travel to Israel(via Jordan, Cyprus etc) from the UAE to meet clients and prospect firms to sell our services.

Travel to Israel from the UAE would be required as often as monthly, and service would also be maintained via email and telephone from the UAE.

My understanding is that in theory, the UAE participates as a member of the Boycott of Israel(BOI) nations. As such, I am very concerned that if I engage in this business I may be exposing both my company and myself to legal consequences in the UAE.

I have expressed my legal concerns about the BOI to my boss, but he dismisses them, and insists that the real risks are low and the business opportunities are high.

Personally, I have no issues with conducting business with any country in the world. However, I am worried about potentially breaking the law of my host country.

I'd be interested in your experiences/opinions in regards to the legal risks if we were to conduct this type of business from our office in the UAE?

Thanks,
C
If it's such a great service why not just open an office in Tel Aviv instead of Dubai? You can get booze there more freely, and can kiss your girlfriend/wife/boyfriend in the street without risk of arrest

Oh and I hear the night clubs are fantastic....

?

A moral stance against a nation of people - not to be too harsh - but is that not frowned upon normally?

it should be.
