Official: Israeli envoy to UAE 'crossed a huge red line' in Abu Dhabi bar

Israeli Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Yossi Shelley, is facing replacement after reports surfaced of inappropriate conduct at a bar in Abu Dhabi. Officials say Shelley behaved in an undignified manner, including unwanted physical advances, which angered Emirati authorities and led to diplomatic tensions. Shelley's actions, witnessed by his bodyguards and reported to superiors, have been described as disrespectful and damaging to Israel's reputation in the region. Despite denials from the Prime Minister's Office about his recall, sources indicate that Shelley's position is now untenable, with discussions underway to find him a new role. Previous incidents of inappropriate behavior have also come to light, further undermining his standing as ambassador.
