UAE Denies Netanyahu Visit Amidst Tensions with Iran
The United Arab Emirates have refuted claims made by Benjamin Netanyahu’s office regarding a recent visit to the country during the ongoing period of heightened tensions with Iran. Netanyahu’s office initially asserted that the prime minister undertook a secret meeting with the President of the United Arab Emirates. However, the official news agency of the United Arab Emirates, WAM, issued a statement categorically denying these reports.
“The United Arab Emirates deny what is circulating regarding an Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visit to the country, or the reception of any Israeli military delegation on its territory,” the statement read. The UAE emphasized that its established relationship with Israel remains a public matter, formalized through the Abraham Accords. This framework, widely known and publicly announced, governs the bilateral relations between the two nations.
WAM further clarified that all interactions with Israel are conducted within the established diplomatic channels and align with the terms of the Abraham Accords. The United Arab Emirates continue to maintain open relations with Israel, a key component of regional diplomacy.
