Abu DhabiNetanyahu secretly flew to Abu Dhabi seeking a denial.
The trip shows Netanyahu using a Gulf ally to manage his own accountability over 7 October.
He asked UAE leader Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed to deny a Haaretz report that he’d warned him before Hamas’s 2023 attack on Israel.
The UAE’s Foreign Ministry declined to confirm the meeting but says it shares “all relevant intelligence” with Israel.
Whether Sheikh Mohamed grants the denial Netanyahu sought remains unknown.
