Netanyahu Met Additional Senior Figure in UAE Visit, Report Claims
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a secret meeting with a senior figure during his recent visit to the United Arab Emirates, according to an Italian report. The report claims that Khalifa Haftar, the commander of the Libyan National Army, landed in the UAE just minutes after Netanyahu's arrival, suggesting a potential meeting between the two.
The meeting, if it occurred, raises geopolitical questions regarding potential connections with the divided nation of Libya. Haftar leads forces in eastern Libya and has been involved in the country's ongoing civil conflict. The report does not specify the identity of the senior figure Netanyahu allegedly met, only that it was an additional high-ranking official beyond any publicly disclosed meetings.
Netanyahu's office has not yet commented on the Italian report. The Prime Minister's trip to the UAE was focused on strengthening bilateral ties and addressing regional security concerns. The alleged meeting with Haftar, a controversial military figure, would represent a significant departure from Israel's publicly stated foreign policy and could have implications for its relations with various regional actors.
