Senior Israeli and Emirati officials held secret meetings in a third country in recent weeks to coordinate positions on Iran, according to a Channel 12 report. The UAE reportedly opposes the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, and the parties agreed that any international move against Tehran will be coordinated with Washington.
According to a Channel 12 report, senior Israeli and Emirati officials convened in a third country over recent weeks for secret talks aimed at aligning their positions on Iran. The report states that the UAE opposes the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, and that both sides agreed to coordinate any future international action against Tehran with Washington.
The secret coordination comes amid a period of significant diplomatic flux surrounding the US-Iran MOU. As The Zioneer has reported over the past several weeks, Israel has been largely excluded from the negotiation process and has been denied access to the full text of the agreement. The UAE's reported opposition to the MOU aligns with Israeli concerns, which have been voiced repeatedly by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior security officials.
The identities of the officials who participated in the meetings remain undisclosed, as does the specific third country where the talks took place. The report did not specify whether further meetings are planned.
