Report: UAE’s public warning against West Bank annexation caught Israel off guard Sharp comments in interview to ToI and official statement were accompanied by back-channel warnings, until annexation was taken off agenda for Thursday cabinet meeting, WaPo reports By ToI Staff6 September 2025, 4:36 pm Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government was caught off guard by the United Arab Emirates’ public warning that Israeli annexation of the West Bank was a “red line” that would spell an end to regional integration, The Washington Post reported Saturday, citing an Israeli official. “The Emirates have expressed concerns about [annexation] before through other channels, but the statement came as a surprise,” the unnamed official was quoted as saying. “It’s very unusual.” The warning was issued by Emirati special envoy Lana Nusseibeh in an interview with The Times of Israel on Tuesday and a subsequent statement. Further warnings were issued through backchannels, to the point that annexation was taken off the agenda for Netanyahu’s Thursday night cabinet meeting, The Post said, citing three people with knowledge of the matter. Times of Israel De facto annexation is still occurring regardless of UAE and KSA reactions to Israel's Finance Minister declaring annexation of 80% of the West Bank. No opposition to annexation announcement by the White House except to blame recognition of Palestinian state by foreign governments.
