She has met the Israeli Foreign minister Yair Lapid on Dubai Expo grounds in 2021,[11] and has previously slammed the 7th of October attack on Israel as “barbaric” and call for the unconditional release of the hostages,[12] She has also met Israeli Ambassador on occasion of end of his tenure in UAE on 9th of October 2024 (two days after the anniversary of 7th of October) and has affirmed the UAE’s unwavering position in rejecting violence and escalation that serve to further increase the risks of instability.
