UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan will warn Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Abraham Accords could be harmed if Israel annexes any parts of the West Bank, Channel 12 news reports ahead of their expected meeting in New York on Friday evening.

An Emirati source tells the network that bin Zayed will tell Netanyahu that Abu Dhabi sees the Abraham Accords “as a cornerstone for a better future in the region… and at the same time will stress the United Arab Emirates’ deep concern about recent developments, particularly actions that endanger the chances of the two-state solution.”

“He will warn again danger steps, such as the callous attack on Qatar and annexation in the West Bank, which could endanger this historic accomplishment,” the source adds.

The source also says the UAE’s top diplomat is expected to update the premier on US President Donald Trump’s plan for ending the Gaza war and freeing the hostages.
