“During the meeting, the two sides discussed bilateral relations between the UAE and Israel and ways to strengthen and develop them,” the official Emirates News Agency, WAM, reported on Monday.
The meeting was earlier reported in the Israeli press.
The trip comes a month before Israeli elections and amid controversy in Israel over reports alleging that Bin Zayed, known as MBZ, had warned Netanyahu about a major Hamas operation in the lead-up to October 7, 2023.
Netanyahu’s office denies receiving information about the attacks.
