Israeli media says Netanyahu made unannounced visit to UAE
The prime minister reportedly met with the Gulf state's leader.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly made an unannounced trip to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Sunday to meet with the country's leader, President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to Israeli media reports. The visit took place amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, particularly following the Israel-US war against Iran in February.
The Israeli media outlets that broke the story include 12, KAN, Haaretz, and The Jerusalem Post. The Prime Minister's office has not yet commented on the matter. This unannounced visit comes in the wake of a recent Israeli media report suggesting that the Emirati president had warned Netanyahu ahead of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
However, Netanyahu has denied this account. Notably, Israel and the UAE established diplomatic relations in 2020 as part of the US-negotiated Abraham Accords.
