Biden admin. was unaware of any UAE Oct. 7 massacre warning to Israel, sources tell 'Post'
Even in the period after the massacre, Biden administration officials did not hear that the UAE had issued a specific warning, the sources told the Post.
The Biden administration was unaware of any specific warning from the United Arab Emirates regarding Hamas's plans for the October 7 massacre in Israel, according to sources familiar with the situation. Despite Haaretz reporting that UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) had warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the potential for a major terror attack, the Biden administration was not made aware of this specific warning.
It is possible that if a significant warning had been conveyed, it would have been communicated to the Biden administration either before or after the massacre. The UAE had previously warned senior US and Israeli officials that Israeli actions and rhetoric were putting regional stability at risk in the period leading up to the massacre.
