00:21Dubai. Abu Dhabi. The Gulf. Under fire. While the world watched Israel and Iran trade blows,
00:27something was happening in secret. Something unthinkable just five years ago. Israeli
00:33soldiers on Arab soil, running Israel's most iconic weapon to defend that Arab country from
00:39Iran. This isn't a what if. This just happened. To understand why this happened, you need to
00:44understand what the UAE was taking. Iran launched 537 ballistic missiles, 26 cruise missiles, and
00:522,256 drones at one country. The UAE oil refineries shut down. The Burj Al Arab caught fire. Dubai
01:01airport faced drone strikes. 13 people killed, over 200 injured, and the UAE was quietly telling its
01:08residents, don't share footage of the strikes. Imprisonment if you do. Even with world-class
01:14American-supplied THAAD and Patriot systems, the UAE's defenses were being stretched to their limits.
01:20They needed help. So the UAE made a call. Not to Washington first, to Jerusalem. Netanyahu picked
01:27up. And then he did something no Israeli prime minister had ever done. He ordered the IDF to
01:32send an Iron Dome battery, interceptors, radar, and several dozen Israeli operators to a foreign
01:38country. For the first time in history, Israeli soldiers packed up, flew out, and set up on
01:43Emirati soil, while Israel itself was under bombardment from Iranian missiles. Think about
01:48that decision. Netanyahu gave away one of Israel's most critical air defense assets, mid-war, to an
01:55Arab neighbor he'd signed a peace treaty with just six years earlier. The Abraham Accords on paper.
02:01The Iron Dome in practice. The system went operational. Iran kept firing. The Iron Dome started shooting
02:08down dozens of incoming Iranian missiles over UAE skies. But Israel didn't stop there. While the
02:14Iron Dome defended from inside the UAE, the Israeli Air Force was simultaneously striking Iranian short-range
02:21missile launch sites in southern Iran. Before those missiles could even leave the ground. Defense
02:27inside an Arab country. Offense against Iran. At the same time, coordinated. That level of real-time
02:34military integration between Israel and an Arab state, live in a war, did not exist five years ago.
02:41Then came the words nobody expected from a Gulf Arab state. Israel was one of the countries that
02:47stepped up to provide real assistance. The United States and Israel proved themselves to be true allies.
02:53We will not forget this. Former UAE National Security Council official Emirati officials said the war didn't
03:00just change the military picture. It changed the mindset of the UAE's people. Anyone who helped defend
03:07them against Iran would be seen positively, permanently. The Abraham Accords were signed in 2020. Critics said
03:13they were shallow. Diplomatic window dressing that they wouldn't hold under pressure. Then Iran fired nearly
03:193,000 missiles and drones at the UAE. And Israeli soldiers showed up to help stop them. The Middle East
03:25just
03:25changed. Most people missed it.
