Yair Golan, chair of the opposition Democrats party, returned to Israel after holding talks on political issues with senior Emirati officials in Abu Dhabi, according to a single Israeli media report on Monday. The trip was not announced in advance.
The report, posted by an Israeli political correspondent on Monday morning, states that Golan met with senior officials in Abu Dhabi for discussions on political topics. No details were provided on the content or outcome of the talks, nor the specific Emirati officials involved.
As The Zioneer reported minutes earlier, Golan had flown to Abu Dhabi for undisclosed talks and was photographed on his return flight. The trip, unannounced ahead of time, comes amid ongoing Israeli-Emirati diplomatic relations since the 2020 Abraham Accords, though Golan is an opposition figure and former deputy chief of staff of the IDF.
The single-source report has not been confirmed by additional outlets or official statements from either side. No further information on the agenda or future meetings has emerged.
