"We are changing the Middle East, we are changing the world," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu and Al Khajah discussed prospects for a variety of bilateral and regional projects.
National Security Council head Meir Ben-Shabbat and other key senior officials attended the meeting, which a statement from the Prime Minister's Office described as "warm and friendly."
Al Khajah arrived in Israel for a three-day visit on Monday. The focus of the visit was to locate a site for the UAE Embassy and present his diplomatic credentials to President Reuven Rivlin at a ceremony in Jerusalem, where he hailed the US-brokered Abraham Accords.
"The Abraham Accords will remain a beacon of light and hope in human history, for all of the peace-loving people," Al Khajah said.
