Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Abu Dhabi on Sunday and met with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to a senior Israeli official who spoke to Reuters. This meeting follows recent reports in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz about an alleged warning from Sheikh Mohamed to Netanyahu regarding Hamas's planned attack, which Netanyahu has denied. The visit underscores the ongoing diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE since their normalization under the 2020 Abraham Accords.

Story summary
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, visited Abu Dhabi on Sunday to meet with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The visit, initially unannounced and heavily debated in Israeli media due to earlier reports about a warning prior to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, was confirmed by both Israel and the UAE. Netanyahu's office later acknowledged the meeting but did not provide specifics, citing regional security challenges as the primary focus of discussion. The visit follows growing tensions in the Middle East amid ongoing conflicts, including the Iran war launched earlier this year.
