Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly traveled to Abu Dhabi on Sunday for a clandestine meeting with the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ). The report, citing two sources, emerged on Sunday evening from Channel 12.

According to the report, Netanyahu arrived on a private jet and spent the day in the UAE. Flight data indicated a private aircraft departed Ben Gurion Airport shortly after 12:00 PM, landing in Abu Dhabi at 3:10 PM. The plane reportedly departed the UAE at 7:10 PM, returning to Israel.

While no official statements have been released confirming the meeting, sources indicated that the primary topic of discussion was the threat posed by Iran. This alleged visit follows a similar unconfirmed report from May, when the Prime Minister's office stated Netanyahu had secretly visited the Emirates and met with bin Zayed during the war with Iran. At that time, the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied the visit had taken place.

This alleged meeting underscores ongoing regional security concerns and the continued diplomatic engagement between Israel and the UAE, particularly regarding shared concerns about Iran's influence and activities.
