Strengthening security ties: Israel has supplied the UAE with 'Iron Dome'

Arabic media outlets, including Al Mayadeen Channel | Breaking, reported this morning (May 12, 2026), based on reports in the Israeli media, that Israel has transferred the "Iron Dome" air defense system to the United Arab Emirates. The information is attributed to remarks made by the United States Ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, regarding the regional alliance framework.

According to the report by Palestine Today Channel, Waltz emphasized that there has been a "deepening of security cooperation" between Israel and countries in the Middle East, with the United Arab Emirates at the top of the list of these countries. Al Mayadeen Channel | Breaking noted that the remarks were originally published in the "Israel Hayom" newspaper.

The network Beirut Time News Lebanon and the World also echoed the report, emphasizing the narrative of deepening security partnership between the sides, under the heading "#Breaking". These reports come against the background of ongoing attempts by these media outlets to highlight the Israeli security presence in the Gulf region.

The reports underscore the strategic importance these sources see in the transfer of Israeli military technology to Arab countries, within the framework of what they define as a tightening security coalition in the Middle East.
