The report that shook the system: A security source reveals what really happened during Netanyahu's visit to the Emirates
A security source denies an Italian report claiming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Libyan Chief of Staff Saddam Haftar during his visit to the United Arab Emirates. According to the source, Netanyahu only met with UAE leader Mohammed bin Zayed. The original report, published on the site "Il Foglio," was based on tracking planes that landed at Al-Bateen Airport and identified a plane used by Haftar arriving from Benghazi.

A security source strongly denies a report published on the Italian site "Il Foglio," claiming that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Libyan Chief of Staff Saddam Haftar during his visit to the United Arab Emirates this week. According to the source, Netanyahu's only meeting was with UAE leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed. The source added that there may have been planes of officials from other countries at the airport, but the entire visit was conducted solely with Emirati officials. The original report sparked political turmoil, noting that an Airbus A319 bearing registration number P4-KH5I9, used by Haftar, was identified landing at Al-Bateen Airport around the same time Netanyahu landed. In response to the uproar, Netanyahu said at the Tel Nof Air Force base that there are signs enemies will try to attack before the elections, and warned: "Don't mess with us."
