Netanyahu's political responsibility in Hamas attacks is at the center of Israel's pre-election debate
The Emirati warning about imminent attacks, revealed on Tuesday by Haaretz, is shaking Israeli politics a month before the elections. The opposition reproaches the Prime Minister for having ignored the warnings.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing criticism after a report that Emirati President Mohamed bin Zayed warned him of a potential large-scale Hamas attack a week before it occurred on October 7, 2023. Netanyahu did not pass on the warning to the military or intelligence services. The opposition has been questioning Netanyahu's policies towards Gaza and his handling of prior warnings about the attack. This development may further complicate Netanyahu's bid for re-election on October 27.
