The leaders\u2019 talks are expected to focus on the war with Iran, which has seriously disrupted trade in oil, gas and other products and rattled the global economy. <\/p>\n<p>It happened hours after Israel said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had quietly visited the United Arab Emirates during the Israeli-U.S. war with Iran, though the UAE swiftly denied that any secret visit had occurred.<\/p>\n<p>The Gulf nation normalized relations with Israel in 2020. Iran has criticized that agreement and has repeatedly suggested over the years that Israel maintained a military and intelligence presence in the Emirates. <\/p>\n<p>Israeli leaders have made occasional visits to the UAE in recent years after normalizing relations.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=268\">Messi has 2 goals and an assist as Inter Miami rallies for 5-3 victory over Cincinnati<\/a><\/p>\n<p>UKMTO did not name the ship and said it is investigating.
