Israel: Report: Netanyahu Was Warned Before Hamas Attack on October 7
A probe by the newspaper "Haaretz" raises questions about the prime minister's responsibility. A tip from the Emirates he is said to have dismissed. The government rejects the allegations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned by UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed around ten days before October 7, 2023, that Hamas was planning a major attack on Israel. According to Haaretz, Netanyahu did not pass on the warning to Israel's intelligence agencies. The Prime Minister's office has denied the allegations. The issue has become a central theme in the run-up to the October 27 parliamentary election, with Netanyahu's opponents, including Jair Golan and Naftali Bennett, criticizing his handling of the situation.
