Netanyahu Secretly Visits UAE Amidst Iran Operations
Jerusalem – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conducted a covert visit to the United Arab Emirates in late March, according to a statement released by his office. The meeting took place with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, the president of the Emirates, during a period of heightened tensions involving operations targeting Iran. The Prime Minister’s office confirmed the visit via the social media platform X, stating it occurred “amid the ‘Lion’s Roar’ operation.” Details of the discussions were not publicly disclosed.
CBS News reported that the meeting occurred at the conclusion of March, coinciding with the peak of the US-Israel campaign against Iran. A ceasefire was subsequently negotiated in April and extended indefinitely by then-US President Donald Trump. Recent reports, including those from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), suggest the United Arab Emirates engaged in covert operations alongside Israel.
The visit underscores the ongoing diplomatic and strategic relationships between Israel, the United Emirates, and the United States as they navigate regional security concerns. The focus on the Emirates highlights a key element of the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding the ongoing operations.
