Secret trip, public theater

So the secret six-hour Abu Dhabi meeting was supposedly about regional stability, which is always elite code for backroom security deals the public gets billed for later. Netanyahu showing up with Mossad brass and then quietly nudging Gulf leaders to help clean up October 7 optics is the part they want buried under diplomacy cosplay; even the trip itself reads less like peace and more like a private shareholder meeting for the regional power cartel. Amazing how democracy keeps happening behind closed doors.
