Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar is in Abu Dhabi, meeting with his Emirati counterpart, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, says the Foreign Ministry.
The two met for the first time in January.
According to the Israeli readout, the two are discussing “a range of regional issues,” including moving bilateral ties forward.
The UAE has maintained full diplomatic ties with Israel since October 7, 2023, but has drawn back from public visits and initiatives with Israel, as the public is firmly opposed to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
