Israeli delegation at Abu Dhabi meet puts UAE on defensive | The Times of Israel:
"An Israeli minister visited the United Arab Emirates for the first time in several years Saturday, but was met by protests and a promise from the Emirate that it was not normalizing ties with Jerusalem.
Energy and Water Minister Silvan Shalom attended a meeting of the International Renewable Energy Agency, headquartered in Abu Dhabi.
It was the first state visit by a high-ranking Israeli official since before the 2010 assassination of Hamas operative Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in a Dubai hotel room, a killing Israel was blamed for.
Israel does not have diplomatic relations with the UAE; it was the first time Israel sent a delegation to the meeting of IRENA, which was founded in 2009."
