Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed met with Benjamin Netanyahu during United Nations General Assembly proceedings in New York. The UAE Foreign Minister pressed Israel's leader to halt military operations in Gaza and establish lasting peace agreements. Abdullah demanded immediate access for humanitarian supplies to reach Palestinian civilians suffering under current conditions. His appeals focused on preventing additional casualties through permanent ceasefire arrangements.
The Emirati diplomat backed international efforts seeking freedom for captured individuals on both sides. Abdullah reinforced his nation's position supporting comprehensive peace through separate Palestinian and Israeli states. UAE officials Mohammed Mahmoud Al Khaja and Lana Zaki Nusseibeh participated in these discussions. This represented Netanyahu's first engagement with senior Arab leadership since Israel targeted Hamas officials in Qatar during September.
