Israel says Foreign Minister Katz visited Abu Dhabi

Israel says Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz visted Abu Dhabi on Sunday as part of a conference on climate change held by the United Nations Environment Program.

The visit was first by a senior Israeli official to an Arab country following last week's U.S.-led workshop in Bahrain on the Palestinian economy.

Katz met with a senior official from the United Arab Emirates and discussed bilateral relations and Iran.
