Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims he secretly visited the UAE during the height of the recent war with Iran to coordinate military strategy.
The Prime Minister's Office described the meeting with President Mohamed bin Zayed as a "historic breakthrough" for the security partnership between the two nations. However, the UAE's foreign ministry swiftly rejected the reports as "baseless," insisting that their diplomatic relations are not based on clandestine or unofficial arrangements. Iran has already responded to the news by threatening the UAE, calling any military collusion with Israel a "foolish gamble" that would lead to consequences.
Diplomats believe the public disclosure may have been a political calculation by Netanyahu that has accidentally embarrassed his most vital Arab ally.
