Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with a senior official from the United Arab Emirates in his hotel in New York after his speech to the UN General Assembly, Channel 12 reports.
The report says the UAE official was most likely Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The report notes that Israel anticipates the UAE playing a major role in post-war Gaza.
The reported meeting also comes amid widespread anger in the Gulf over Israel’s apparent botched strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, and the UAE’s warning to Israel that annexing the West Bank would be a “red line.”
