(opens the publisher’s site)The UAE has confirmed Netanyahu's Sunday meeting with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, after Israel's security agencies lodged a complaint over Channel 12 reporting the trip early.
- Emirates News Agency said Netanyahu met Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, with both discussing bilateral relations.
- Netanyahu's office said the Shin Bet filed a complaint with the military censor seeking legal action against Channel 12 for publishing trip details before the publication embargo lifted.
- Netanyahu's office said the broadcast "endangered the lives" of the prime minister and delegation, adding a Mossad assessment called the leak a serious security threat.
- Channel 12 sources rejected the accusations, saying the report was political in nature and posed no threat to life.
- Netanyahu's office dismissed as 'fake news' an AP report that the visit centered on asking bin Zayed to deny an Haaretz story about a pre-October 7 Hamas warning.
