The United Arab Emirates Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement denying reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secretly visited the UAE during Operation Roaring Lion.
The UAE statement claimed that “any claims regarding unannounced visits or undisclosed arrangements are entirely unfounded unless officially announced by the relevant authorities in the UAE,” while also urging media outlets not to spread “unverified information.”
There is just one major problem with that denial: this was not a media leak, rumor, or anonymous report.
The information was officially published by Netanyahu’s own office on the verified Prime Minister of Israel account, which explicitly stated:
“In the midst of Operation Roaring Lion, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secretly visited the United Arab Emirates, where he met with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed. “This visit has led to a historic breakthrough in relations between Israel and the UAE.”
Why the UAE is now publicly denying a visit openly announced by Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office remains unclear.

It’s very clear. They fear Iran bombing their oil.
@flatbush: except that iran attacked the emirates anyway, and it was israeli systems, like iron dome, which defended them, so that explanation doesn’t hold.
instead, perhaps they don’t want the embarrassment, in front of other arabs, of being seen to be indebted to jews for their safety.
There’s no way to know who’s lying. Netanyahu might think claiming this helps him politically, even if untrue.
Joseph Goebbels,
“There’s no way to know who’s lying” – besides you, Pinocchio!
Please tell us more lies about your made-up posek, “Harav Yitzchok Ehrentreu” or some more of your notable whoppers, like:
– claiming residence in Gateshead and Meah Shearim
– being married three wives
– having eighteen children
– working as both a chip designer and nuclear engineer
– giving shiurim
– answering a halacha line over the phone
In reality, your close relative was a Nazi so you’re not even Jewish. Call yourself out, filthy liar!
