UAE State Media Confirms Netanyahu Met UAE President Sheikh Mohamed in Abu Dhabi
The leaders discussed bilateral ties and regional security as Israeli officials said the meeting lasted about six hours and centered on Iran and the Houthis.
- On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a secret visit to Abu Dhabi to meet UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, focusing on strengthening bilateral relations and addressing regional threats from Iran and the Houthis.
- After the Houthis seized Yemen's entire Red Sea coast in September, Saudi Arabia requested Israeli assistance against attacks in the region, prompting Mossad Director Roman Goffman to arrange the meeting.
- Israeli Channel 14 reported a 10-nation summit featuring representatives from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Kuwait, Bahrain, Libya, Oman, Egypt, and the United States, though none publicly confirmed participation.
- Participants discussed sharing intelligence on the Houthis and Iran, with Israeli representatives offering regional partners air defense system assistance, drawing on expertise from the war with Iran.
- Shortly before the meeting, Haaretz reported MBZ warned Netanyahu of a looming Hamas attack before October 7, 2023; Netanyahu's office denied the claim as 'fake news' and rejected Associated Press allegations he sought to suppress it.
