Secret Summit in Abu Dhabi Explores New Regional Order
A dramatic, behind-the-scenes summit held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, has revealed sensitive high-level discussions aimed at reshaping regional power dynamics. The meeting, initially promoted by UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, evolved into a broad forum.
Senior representatives from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United States, Morocco, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Libya convened, signaling a significant escalation in Middle East security and political coordination. According to Italian reports, a key element of this discreet gathering was an unusual, secret meeting between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Saddam Haftar, the deputy commander of Libyan forces in the east and son of strongman Khalifa Haftar.
Political advisors in the Gulf suggest Haftar attended the Abu Dhabi meeting to seek international support and political backing for his anticipated bid to lead the Libyan government. This development appears to supersede earlier, more limited interpretations of the summit's purpose, which some on the Israeli left had suggested was solely focused on refuting reports about the October 7th "disaster."
