Netanyahu Seeks UAE Denial of October 7 Warning in Secret Meeting

The trip followed a Haaretz investigation claiming bin Zayed told Netanyahu that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning an "earthquake" roughly 10 days before the attacks. Netanyahu’s office has called these claims a "sinister plot" and is pursuing legal action against the newspaper. Although the UAE government issued an official statement denying the visit took place, the nations have deepened security cooperation, including a temporary Israeli Iron Dome deployment to the Emirates during the war with Iran.
