Israel Says Netanyahu Traveled To UAE During Iran War
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced on May 13 that Benjamin Netanyahu had "secretly" traveled to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the US-Israeli war with Iran.
Netanyahu met with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, according to the statement.
"This visit led to a historic breakthrough in relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates," the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said.
Previously, senior US officials had confirmed Israel sent an "Iron Dome" defense system to the UAE along with forces to operate it during the war with Iran.
Also, according to UAE officials and an informed source who spoke to The Wall Street Journal, Mossad chief David Barnea traveled to the UAE at least twice during the war with Iran to discuss coordination related to the conflict.
The UAE is one of the few Arab countries to have diplomatic relations with Israel, relations that were formally established in 2020 as part of the Abraham Accords. These agreements are considered one of the most important foreign policy achievements of US President Donald Trump, as well as Benjamin Netanyahu.
