Arabia Saudită neagă că ar fi participat la o întâlnire cu Netanyahu în Emiratele Arabe Unite • Newsweek România

Saudi Arabia has denied any participation in a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan. An official stated that there was no official meeting or discussions, maintaining the kingdom's unchanged position towards Israel. Reports suggested Saudi officials attended a broader meeting focused on security cooperation, Iran, and regional defense systems. The UAE has official relations with Israel, established through the Abraham Accords in 2020, while Saudi Arabia links recognition of Israel to the creation of a Palestinian state. Discussions for normalizing relations were initiated in 2023 but were halted due to the Gaza conflict.
