Report Alleges Netanyahu Warned of Hamas Attack Before October 7, Denies Warning
An investigation by Israeli newspaper Haaretz alleges that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a major Hamas attack roughly 10 days before October 7, 2023. The report claims Netanyahu did not share this warning with senior security officials. Netanyahu's office denies the call or warning occurred. The alleged warning described the threat as an "earthquake" that could destabilize the region and affect the Abraham Accords. The report has renewed scrutiny of Israel's preparedness and leadership before the attack.
