Last week former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met Bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi, while Netanyahu has not yet been invited to an official meeting.

A source privy to the details of the meeting said that it lasted almost three hours.

This was the fourth meeting between Bennett and Zayed in a year and a half.

Prime Minister Netanyahu was supposed to visit Abu Dhabi in January, but his visit was canceled and no new date has been set since then.

At the meeting, the two discussed the developments in Israel surrounding the protest against the legal revolution.

Bennett told Ben Zaid that in his opinion the country would actually become stronger as a result of the events and that the demonstrations were "a sign of an Israeli society that desires life".
