Israel’s Netanyahu visited Abu Dhabi on Sunday, Israeli official says

⁠Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ⁠visited Abu Dhabi and met UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan on Sunday, a senior Israeli official told Reuters.

There was no immediate comment from Netanyahu’s office and the UAE’s foreign ministry.

The unannounced visit comes ‌after Israeli newspaper Haaretz this month reported that Sheikh Mohamed had warned Netanyahu a week and a half before October 7, 2023 that Hamas was planning a major operation against Israel.

The warning was not passed to Israeli intelligence agencies or the military, Haaretz reported.
