Explosive reports: Warning of Hamas raid ignored? - Netanyahu denies
According to local media, Israel's Prime Minister is said to have received a warning from Abu Dhabi before the 2023 Hamas massacre and ignored it. The Emirates do not want to comment on the reports.
Israel's government has denied reports that the United Arab Emirates warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a planned Hamas offensive before the October 7, 2023 attack. According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed called Netanyahu 1.5 weeks before the attack, warning him that Hamas leader Jihia al-Sinwar was planning a large-scale operation.
Netanyahu's office stated that the prime minister received no warning from the UAE, contradicting the report. The UAE has declined to comment on the allegations.
