Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday that he has initiated defamation lawsuits against claims that he was given warnings prior to the Hamas-led assault on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. In a post on X, the prime minister labeled the assertions "false slanders", asserting that it is no coincidence these lies are being disseminated now, on the eve of elections, by political adversaries and hostile foreign entities seeking to overthrow his right-wing government and install a left-wing-Arab parties administration. This administration is accused of striving to establish a Palestinian state.
Earlier this month, Haaretz reported that UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed had cautioned Netanyahu about a potential attack by Hamas ten days prior to the events of October 7, 2023.
