Prime Minister Naftali Bennett made history today (Sunday) and became the first Israeli prime minister to pay an open official visit to the United Arab Emirates.
The prime minister landed at the royal airport in Abu Dhabi, where he was received by the United Arab Emirates' foreign minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, in an honor guard.
Bennett addressed his hosts as he got off the plane and said, "I appreciate your warm hospitality. It is a wonderful welcome. I am very excited to be here, on the first official visit of an Israeli leader here. We look forward to strengthening the relationship between the two countries."
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will present his host with new data on the deployment of Iranian militias and UAV units recently discovered by the Israeli intelligence agencies. On his way to Abu Dhabi, Bennett said that "relations are excellent and branching, we must continue to cultivate and strengthen them, and build the warm peace between the peoples."
The meeting between Bennett and the regent will include a state reception, a meeting and a joint lunch. After that, Bennett will take off back to Israel. The parties will discuss the expansion of cooperation in the field of trade, tourism and will also discuss political and security issues. Yesterday, it was revealed in "Israel Today" that in Jerusalem they expressed concern that the emirates, who are interested in purchasing an iron dome and a magic wand worth billions, will increase the pressure to advance the deal, taking advantage of Israel's desire to separate the United Arab Emirates and Iran. Israel is not interested in carrying out the deal because it involves sensitive technologies and in light of the fact that Iranian elements, including at senior levels, are roaming the territory of the United Arab Emirates unhindered.
In Jerusalem, it is estimated that in order to create the necessary pressure that will lead to the removal of the Gulf states from Iran, Bennett will present new data collected by the Israeli intelligence system during his meeting with the regent. Among other things, Bennett may present the base in Kashan, where representatives of Iranian militias around the world are training to operate explosives UAVs. Such UAVs were sent from Iran to a number of destinations, including naval targets, from military bases such as the base in Shabhar and the island of Keshem in the south of the country. .
Bennett may also reveal information that reached the Israeli defense establishment, according to which these UAVs are used not only for the purpose of detonating targets, but also for transporting weapons to Iranian elements overseas.

In the American weakness. "Abraham's agreements were born because the United States broadcast that it was strong and could be trusted. When that is not the case, the parties draw conclusions."
