Netanyahu made secret visit to UAE during Iran war

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quietly visited the United Arab Emirates during the ongoing conflict with Iran, a trip that underscores how the war has deepened ties between Israel and Gulf states. The visit came as Iran's first vice president warned that Tehran's rights over the Strait of Hormuz are 'established and the matter is closed.' Back home, Netanyahu faces a potential coalition collapse, with his own Likud party submitting a proposal to dissolve parliament and call early elections.
