Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a one-day unannounced trip to the United Arab Emirates on Sunday to meet President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to multiple Israeli broadcasters and newspapers. The visit was not confirmed by the Israeli prime minister's office. It comes amid the ongoing Israel-US war against Iran, which began in February 2026, and follows a recent — and disputed — report in Israeli media that the Emirati leader had warned Netanyahu ahead of Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, a warning he allegedly failed to pass to security services. The two countries established formal diplomatic ties in 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords.
