Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secretly visited the United Arab Emirates during the height of the military campaign against Iran. The Prime Minister's Office announced this on May 13.

According to the press service, during this trip, Netanyahu met with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan.

"This visit led to a historic breakthrough in relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates," the office noted.

Earlier, on May 13, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that David Barnea, director of Israel's foreign intelligence service, Mossad, visited the UAE at least twice during the conflict with Iran to coordinate efforts. The article's authors emphasized that Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi demonstrated a close security partnership during the military campaign against the Islamic Republic.

In April, the American news outlet Axios reported that, at the start of the conflict with Iran, Israel sent the Iron Dome air defense system and personnel to the UAE to operate it. Netanyahu ordered the deployment of a battery of interceptors and several dozen IDF operators after a phone call with Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

So the Israeli army is defending Arabs from Iranian attacks. Truly we live in an age of miracles.
