No airline will want to lose an airframe, and they will not deliberately place it in harms way. EK and the UAE government will have better direct connections with neighbours than most.
Your job is to fly the aircraft and not second guess things like this.
So if you refuse, expect to be fired, and rightly so.
Maybe aviation is not for you?
What a childish and naive reaction….
So your airline knows better than all the others. Get a grip and assume that your commanding freedoms over there are lower than elsewhere.
