Netanyahu Meets UAE President in Abu Dhabi, Axios Reports

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu travelled to Abu Dhabi on Sunday and held a meeting with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to a report by Axios that cited sources.

The visit took place in the Emirati capital, where the two leaders met, the report said. Few other details of the trip were immediately available.

The meeting marks another high-level contact between Israeli and Emirati officials. The two countries established diplomatic relations in 2020 under the Abraham Accords, a set of normalisation agreements brokered with US involvement.

There was no immediate official confirmation of the visit from either government. The report did not specify the topics discussed or the duration of the stay.

Netanyahu's travel to the UAE comes amid ongoing regional diplomacy. The UAE has maintained its ties with Israel since the normalisation deal, even as the wider Middle East has seen shifting alignments and persistent tensions.

Further details about the visit were not provided in the initial report.
