Israel's UAE envoy said to anger Emiratis by violating country's security protocols

Israeli Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Yossi Shelley has drawn criticism from Emirati officials after reportedly violating the country's security protocols by posting a photo from inside Israel's embassy in Abu Dhabi. The incident comes amid a series of controversies surrounding Shelley's conduct, including previous reports of inappropriate behavior at a local bar and repeated clashes with his security detail over protocol violations. Emirati officials are said to be frustrated with Shelley's actions, and he is now considered a 'lame duck' ambassador, with few willing to meet with him. Israeli officials are reportedly seeking a replacement for Shelley, who has a history of contentious behavior in previous public roles.
