Israeli security services received a warning about a possible Iran-directed attack against the former head of Israel’s Security Agency, Shin Bet, Ronen Bar.
Following this information, it was decided that he and his wife would immediately leave the United Arab Emirates and return to Israel. On Sunday, it was reported that Ronen Bar and his wife, Dafna Bar-Agassi, were forced to cut short their stay in the United Arab Emirates due to an urgent security alert.

According to several sources, their evacuation was carried out after a warning about an Iranian threat against him. Ronen Bar and his wife had recently taken part in a special conference on security issues in the United Arab Emirates.
Reports say that senior security and intelligence officials from various countries around the world were present at the event. However, a source close to the United Arab Emirates flatly denied claims that the country’s Foreign Minister had organized any conference attended by the former head of Shin Bet.
The same source clarified that the Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates has not hosted such a conference, either recently or in previous years. He also rejected claims of an incident related to the departure of the former head of Shin Bet from the United Arab Emirates, describing reports on the matter as “completely baseless.”
In the end, he stressed that the United Arab Emirates maintains a consistent stance of non-interference in Israel’s internal political affairs and will not become part of political clashes or internal political processes in that country.
