Haaretz: Netanyahu reportedly received UAE warning before October 7 Hamas attack
According to an investigation by the Israeli newspaper, the Prime Minister allegedly kept a foreign warning about a large-scale attack confidential just days before the events.
An investigation by the newspaper Haaretz reveals that Benjamin Netanyahu received a warning from the United Arab Emirates about a large-scale Hamas attack just days before the terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023, according to the media outlet. His office categorically rejects this claim.
Netanyahu's political opponents are calling for accountability from the Prime Minister, while this disclosure has reignited debate over the government's security management in the lead-up to the attacks that killed hundreds of Israeli civilians and triggered the war in Gaza.
