Netanyahu Makes Secret Visit to Abu Dhabi, Meets UAE President Amid October 7 Warning Reports
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a secret visit to Abu Dhabi on September 27, 2026, meeting UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The visit lasted about four hours and was not immediately commented on by either side. It occurred amid renewed scrutiny of reports that the UAE leader warned Netanyahu about a major Hamas attack before October 7, 2023, which Netanyahu denies. The meeting takes place against a backdrop of ongoing Israel-UAE diplomatic relations and Netanyahu's challenging reelection campaign.
