  • Exiled Gaza security chief Mohammed Dahlan has reportedly met with multiple senior Israeli Shin Bet officials in recent years.
  • These meetings, held in the UAE, aimed to discuss potential solutions for the situation in Gaza.
  • Dahlan, exiled since 2011, is considered by some sources to be the most powerful man in Gaza due to his fundraising capabilities.

Mohammed Dahlan, the exiled former Fatah official and Gaza security chief, has held multiple meetings with senior officials from Israel's Shin Bet security agency and the defense sector in recent years. These discussions reportedly focused on finding solutions for the ongoing situation in the Gaza Strip.

The meetings took place in the United Arab Emirates, where Dahlan has been living in exile since 2011. Despite his absence from Gaza, sources describe Dahlan as "the most powerful man in the Gaza Strip" due to his significant fundraising abilities, which allow him to exert considerable influence.

One report indicated that Dahlan met with Shin Bet chief David Zini during a recent visit to the UAE. When questioned about the meetings, the Shin Bet stated, "We do not comment on the chief's schedule." This news follows reports from earlier this month that Mossad chief David Barnea also visited the UAE multiple times to coordinate on security matters during Operation Roaring Lion, with Shin Bet chief Zini also reportedly visiting the UAE during the same period.
