Irregular complaint | Shin Bet demands harsh measures against Channel 12 News

UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) confirmed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent visit to the Gulf nation, according to state news agency WAM. The report, published on Monday, marked the first official confirmation of Netanyahu's trip. The office of the Israeli prime minister stated that Netanyahu's visit was at the invitation of the UAE president and focused on strengthening ties between the two countries, as well as addressing regional challenges.

Israeli officials confirmed that the meeting lasted six hours and centered on Iran. The UAE denied earlier reports suggesting Netanyahu had visited in May, dismissing them as "fake news". This visit comes as the UAE has strengthened its relationships with the United States and Israel following the 2020 Abraham Accords.
