Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a secret meeting with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan during the ongoing conflict with Iran. This visit, described by Netanyahu's office as a historic breakthrough, comes in the wake of Israel's deployment of Iron Dome air defense systems to the UAE. The announcement follows comments from US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee regarding Israel's military support to the UAE amid escalating tensions. The conflict, sparked by US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February, has seen Iran target the UAE with multiple missile and drone attacks. Despite a ceasefire established last month, the UAE continues to face threats, reinforcing its status as a key US ally and a nation with formal ties to Israel since the Abraham Accords were signed in 2020.
