Israeli media (Channel 12, KAN, Haaretz, Jerusalem Post) reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made an unannounced, roughly four-hour trip to Abu Dhabi aboard a private plane to meet UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Neither government has officially commented on the visit. The meeting comes amid reports that the UAE leader had warned Netanyahu of a potential Hamas attack shortly before the October 7, 2023 assault, adding a layer of intrigue to the secrecy surrounding the trip and renewed scrutiny of Israel's pre-war intelligence failures.
