Netanyahu Makes Secret Visit to UAE, Meets President Amid October 7 Warning Controversy
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a secret visit to Abu Dhabi on September 27, 2026, meeting UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The visit lasted several hours and focused on regional security concerns, particularly regarding Iran. It occurred amid renewed scrutiny over reports that the UAE leader warned Netanyahu about a possible Hamas attack before October 7, 2023, which Netanyahu denies and has threatened legal action over. Neither side has officially commented on the meeting, which takes place ahead of Israel's upcoming elections.
