# Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he made a “secret visit” to the United Arab Emirates at the height of the Iran war, where he met president, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. He claims this led to a historic breakthrough in relations between the two countries. In May, Iran launched a series of missiles and drones at the UAE. Meanwhile, the UAE has denied reports of the alleged visit by Netanyahu, saying that its relationship with Israel is not based on secrecy or clandestine arrangements.
