🇮🇱🇦🇪🇵🇸⚡️ — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secretly traveled to the UAE on Sunday to ask President MbZ to deny reports that he had warned Netanyahu about a potential Hamas attack ahead of October 7, 2023, according to AP.

Two people briefed on the trip confirmed that Netanyahu held an hourlong meeting with the Emirati president.

Netanyahu’s office had previously denied receiving such a warning.

The UAE Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the secret meeting but said it maintains “open and direct lines of communication” with Israel and shares “all relevant intelligence.”
