UAE Rejects Netanyahu’s ‘Secret’ Visit Claim Amid Iran Conflict
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says he secretly flew to the United Arab Emirates during fighting with Iran to meet President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed. They described the meeting as a “historic breakthrough,” but the UAE Foreign Ministry quickly dismissed the visit as unfounded and said all contacts follow the publicly declared Abraham Accords. Tensions rose after Iran struck multiple targets in the Emirates, prompting a US-Israel deployment of Iron Dome batteries to help defend Emirati airspace. Tehran condemned Abu Dhabi for its closer ties with Washington and Tel Aviv, calling any secret deal “unforgivable.” Reports suggest the UAE also carried out undisclosed strikes on Iranian territory. Both sides now observe a fragile ceasefire, though Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, driving up global energy prices and prolonging the geopolitical standoff.
