Haim Saban, who participated in negotiations between Israel and the UAE, on Thursday contradicted Prime Minister Netanyahu's claims that annexation has not been scraped.
Saban, an Israeli-American businessman who has ties in the UAE and was instrumental in negotiations leading up to the agreement reached to establish diplomatic ties said the threat of annexation is what had facilitated the deal that was in the making for over a year.
"Netanyahu is dreaming," he said.
