The United Arab Emirates has denied reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a secret visit to the country during the recent Israel-US conflict with Iran, rejecting claims that it hosted either the Israeli leader or an Israeli military delegation.
In a strongly worded statement, the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said reports circulating about an alleged visit by Netanyahu or the arrival of an Israeli military delegation were false. The ministry said the UAE’s ties with Israel were conducted openly under the framework of the Abraham Accords and were “not based on non-transparent or unofficial arrangements”.
