Saudi Official Denies Reports of Meeting Between Saudi and Israeli Officials

A Saudi official said the kingdom did not join the expanded talks, countering reports that 4 countries discussed Iran and regional defense.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Abu Dhabi on Sunday, meeting UAE President Sheikh Mohammed. Reports claimed Netanyahu also met with officials from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Morocco, though Saudi officials denied the meetings.
  • A senior Saudi official denied the meeting reports to AFP on Tuesday, reiterating that Saudi Arabia's stance on Israel remains unchanged. The kingdom maintains it will not normalize relations with Israel without a clear path to Palestinian statehood.
  • Iran's Foreign Ministry warned the United Arab Emirates of "highly dangerous consequences" following the visit. The Ministry labeled Netanyahu "the child-killing and war-mongering Prime Minister of the Zionist regime," citing his presence as a regional security threat.
  • Discussions reportedly centered on regional security cooperation, specifically addressing threats from Iran and Yemen's Houthis. Representatives heard about Israel's willingness to assist the UAE with air defense systems, as it did during the regional war.
  • President Donald Trump said Tuesday he remains uncertain if Iran will "give up yet" in the war with the United States. Trump described Iran as doing "very poorly" amid the ongoing tensions.
