Israeli high-tech firm ThetaRay will offer a financial crime-detection tool that monitors transactions for the Emirati bank Mashreq, the companies announced on Monday.

This is ThetaRay’s first licensing agreement with a bank from the United Arab Emirates, said chief executive Mark Gazit, according to Reuters.

The Israeli company uses artificial intelligence to identify cyber financial threats such as fraud and money-laundering.

“It’s almost like a scanning machine,” Gazit told Reuters.

He added that he hoped the deal would lead to more in the UAE and other Gulf states and Arab countries.

Dubai-based Mashreq had previously paid fines for violating U.S. sanctions. The UAE is seeking to increase banking regulations.

More than 200 aircraft and ships have arrived in support of the Israel Defense Forces.
The president urged Tehran to cut a deal before “there is no turning back, and it won’t be pretty.”
This is “important news for our American partners in reopening the Strait of Hormuz,” the Israeli defense minister said.
Under the proposed law, terrorist murderers would face execution by hanging.
Peace can be achieved “if the empire of evil from Tehran and its proxies, especially Hezbollah, are wiped out,” said the Israeli president.
“Israel’s forests are a second home for all of us during Passover, but the current security situation makes visiting them unsafe at this time.”
