The UAE Helped Attack Iran And Almost Got Away With It - Guess Who Blew The Cover

Netanyahu has opened his big fat mouth and left the UAE furiously denying an entire secret war relationship with Israel. Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu's own office has just put out a statement boasting that he made a secret wartime visit to the United Arab Emirates during Operation Roaring Lion, the Israeli war on Iran currently in stalemate over access to and from the Strait of Hormuz, and claims he met UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, more easily referred to as MBZ, in person. His office called it a historic breakthrough in Israel-UAE relations and the UAE government denied it shortly afterwards, through its official state channel, denied the visit happened, denied receiving any Israeli military delegation, and insisted that its relationship with Israel is the public one set out under the Abraham Accords and nothing else. Two governments. Same event. Opposite stories. One of them is lying, and the receipts coming out behind Netanyahu's boast point in one direction. This is the moment Abu Dhabi did not want. The UAE has spent years selling its relationship with Israel as the polite, above-board version of normalisation. Signed in Washington in September 2020, the Abraham Accords were marketed as a tidy diplomatic arrangement: embassies, tourism, business deals, a few photo opportunities, all out in the open. That was the public package. What it was not supposed to include, at least not in any way Abu Dhabi could admit to, was a sitting Israeli prime minister flying in during a very hot war on Iran, being met on the tarmac by the head of state, and driven personally to the palace for a meeting of several hours. Because the second you admit to that, the Accords stop looking like a diplomatic framework and start looking like operational cover instead. And that is exactly what Netanyahu's office has just dragged into public view.
