Report: UAE Warned Netanyahu Before Oct. 7 Attack
The report says Netanyahu was warned of a major Hamas operation 10 days before the attack and did not alert security chiefs.
- On Tuesday, Haaretz reported that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of an imminent Hamas attack roughly 10 days before October 7, 2023; Netanyahu's office categorically denied the report, calling it an "absolute lie."
- Before the warning, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar told a Fatah intermediary he was preparing a "zilzal," or earthquake, and a "huge surprise." This information reached bin Zayed, who then contacted Netanyahu to urge readiness.
- During the 45-minute call, Netanyahu reportedly "reacted with relative calm" and assured bin Zayed that Israel was prepared for any scenario. Sources claim he failed to share this intelligence with the Shin Bet.
- Opposition leaders Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Lieberman, and Yair Golan issued a joint statement demanding an immediate state commission of inquiry, accusing Netanyahu of "criminal negligence."
- Multiple investigations, including intelligence from Egypt and the Shin Bet, suggest a pattern of ignored warnings as the October 27 election approaches. Netanyahu's rivals are using these allegations to argue he is unfit to serve.
