Netanyahu received three warnings from Egypt about Gaza including in days before October 7 - report
Netanyahu has previously denied personally receiving advance knowledge, claiming that security chiefs did not adequately warn him.
Egypt reportedly delivered at least three separate warnings to Israel regarding the October 7 massacre, according to a Wall Street Journal report. These warnings included a secret visit to Israel by Egypt's intelligence chief, Abbas Kamel, just two weeks before the attack, and a phone call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu days prior.
Despite these warnings, Netanyahu has previously denied receiving any advance knowledge of the attack, stating that security chiefs did not adequately warn him. The report suggests Netanyahu and other Israeli officials received multiple advanced warnings, and the visit by Kamel, which took place 11 days before October 7, is said to have concluded with Kamel conveying another warning to Netanyahu.
The report adds that during the meeting, Kamel reportedly warned that Hamas appeared to be preparing for a major attack, urging Israel to take economic steps to reduce tensions in the Gaza Strip.
