Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an hourlong session with the president of the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, according to two sources privy to the secret trip, which was initially disclosed by Israel’s Channel 12 television.
One of the individuals indicated that the discussions centered on a Haaretz report released earlier this month, alleging that the Emirati leadership had cautioned Netanyahu regarding an impending assault by Hamas in the days leading up to the October 7, 2023 attacks.

Seems like Netanyahu is trying to shift blame after the fact. Why wasn’t this public knowledge months ago?
I never knew the UAE had shared such specific intelligence beforehand. Does this change how we view their regional role?
Interesting timing. One has to wonder if this secret meeting is about clearing the air or shielding political reputations.
