The UAE has denied reports published by a section of Israeli media that the UAE and Israel have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on internal security, as part of the peace treaty signed between the two countries and the United States recently.
Salem Mohammed Al Zaabi, Director of the International Security Cooperation Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, emphasised that the main goal of the peace treaty is to establish economic and scientific relations in the fields of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) health and education. He said seeking security agreements is not part of the aim of the accord.
Reports circulated by some media outlets on Friday claimed that dialogue had been opened at ministerial level between the two countries to conclude a security agreement shortly.
Al Zaabi called for accuracy, objectivity and taking facts from reliable sources, stressing that these reports are "completely inaccurate''.
