The United Arab Emirates has denied reports circulating regarding an alleged visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the UAE or the receiving of any Israeli military delegation in the country.
In a statement, the UAE said its relations with Israel are public and conducted within the framework of the officially declared Abraham Accords, and are not based on non-transparent or unofficial arrangements.
The statement said any claims regarding unannounced visits or undisclosed arrangements are entirely unfounded unless officially announced by the relevant authorities in the UAE.
The UAE also called on media outlets to exercise accuracy and professionalism and to refrain from circulating unverified information or promoting misleading political narratives.
The clarification comes amid heightened regional scrutiny over diplomatic developments in the Gulf and speculation surrounding possible high-level engagements involving Israeli officials.
