His spokesman attached a copy of a condolence letter he sent to the de facto leader of the United Arab Emirates, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan on Monday.

“We stand ready to offer you security and intelligence support to help protect your citizens from similar attacks,” Bennett wrote. “I have ordered the Israeli security services to provide all assistance to their counterparts in the United Arab Emirates, if you are interested.”
