The United Arab Emirates "will not be a part of any internal electioneering in Israel, now or ever," former Foreign Minister Anwar Gargash said on Wednesday, pouring cold water on reports of a planned visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a tweet, the former minister stated that "from the UAE’s perspective, the purpose of the Abrahamic Accords is to provide a robust strategic foundation to foster peace and prosperity with the State of Israel and in the wider region," rather than interfering in inernal elections.
According to reports by Israel Hayom newspaper and The Jerusalem Post, the visit was scheduled to take place on Thursday.
