Saudi Arabia and Jordan denials of meeting Netanyahu

Overview

Following reports in Israeli media that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a multilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi involving several Middle Eastern nations, Saudi Arabia and Jordan have issued formal denials.

Israeli reports suggested the meeting included representatives from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt to discuss regional security, intelligence cooperation, Iran, and the Houthi movement. However, Saudi officials stated, “Neither official meetings, nor talks, nothing. Our position regarding Israel has not changed.” Jordanian sources characterized the claims as “baseless fabrications” intended to reduce Netanyahu’s international isolation.

While the United Arab Emirates confirmed that President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met with Netanyahu to discuss bilateral relations, no confirmation was provided regarding broader multilateral discussions. Saudi Arabia maintains that normalization with Israel remains contingent upon a path toward a two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
