“We stand ready to offer you security and intelligence support in order to help you protect your citizens from similar attacks,” Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in a letter to Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s de facto ruler. “I have ordered the Israeli security establishment to provide their counterparts in the UAE with any assistance, should you be interested.”
