Media reports revealed a "secret" meeting that brought together Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, during the period of the Israeli war on Iran. Sources indicated that the meeting followed a secret
visit conducted by Netanyahu to Abu Dhabi, resulting in "historic progress" in bilateral relations and opening wide horizons for cooperation in multiple fields. This development comes in the context of growing relations between the two sides since the signing of
normalization agreements in 2020, and amid escalating regional conflict, where this meeting is viewed as a step to enhance political and security coordination between Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi in facing current challenges.
