Report: UAE Warned Netanyahu Before Oct. 7 Attack
- United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a major planned Hamas attack around September 27, 2023, describing it as potentially causing bloodshed and regional instability.
- Netanyahu reportedly responded calmly to the warning, believing the threat was focused on the West Bank or Judea and Samaria, and did not share it with senior Israeli security officials including Shin Bet and IDF leadership.
- Senior Israeli defense officials had been warned earlier of an impending conflict with Hamas and recommended defensive or offensive measures, but no decisions were made.
- Netanyahu's office denied that such a warning call took place and called related reports an 'absolute lie,' while opposition figures criticized him for security failures leading to the October 7 attack.
