Israel’s domestic security agency Shin Bet filed a complaint against Channel 12 for reporting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the United Arab Emirates. The report came after Israeli media claimed the Emirati president had warned Netanyahu about Hamas's attack in October 2023, which Netanyahu denied receiving. Netanyahu’s office accused Channel 12 of endangering lives by disclosing details before his plane was back in Israeli airspace. This marks Israel’s first acknowledgment of the trip without naming the destination.

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.
