UAE denies report: No warning was conveyed to Netanyahu
An official in Abu Dhabi denied a report claiming that President Mohammed bin Zayed warned Prime Minister Netanyahu of a Hamas attack before October 7.
The United Arab Emirates has denied reports that President Mohammed bin Zayed warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of a Hamas attack before October 7. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, an official in Abu Dhabi denied the report.
The UAE's response to questions from The National, an Abu Dhabi-based newspaper, about a potential warning to Netanyahu was vague, stating that security matters are handled through "relevant entities" in discussions with other countries.
A report by Haaretz, as cited by Middle East Eye, claimed that Mohammed bin Zayed phoned Netanyahu roughly ten days before the October 7 attacks, warning him that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was preparing a large-scale operation targeting Israel. However, the UAE did not directly address this claim.
