UAE President Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) previously invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attend the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai later this month (30/11/2023).
MBZ was willing to demonstrate his intention to use the conference as a platform to solidify the UAE’s ties with Israel.

- The shift of the UAE’s COP28 strategy amid the Gaza War
- MBZ stance on Emirati-Israeli energy ties
- His decision on PM Netanyahu attending COP28
