Abu Dhabi is distancing itself from visible cooperation with Israel amid renewed escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a geopolitical analyst cited by France 24.
The positioning comes after a ship was seized off the United Arab Emirates coast on Thursday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously announced quiet diplomatic visits to the region.
Analysts suggest the UAE is attempting to balance its strategic interests without appearing overly aligned with Israel, as tensions in one of the world's most critical shipping lanes intensify.
