UAE denies Israeli PM’s claim of ‘historic’ visit

The UAE has denied Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that he made a secret visit to Abu Dhabi during the war to secure a historic breakthrough. While Netanyahu's office confirmed the visit deepened cooperation, the UAE foreign ministry rejected reports of the alleged visit as false and insisted ties are conducted transparently through the Abraham Accords framework. The disagreement highlights tensions between the countries' defense coordination and Abu Dhabi's desire to distance itself from Netanyahu's policies.
