Israel: Revelations about warning Netanyahu received before October 7
A forthcoming book claims that Israel's prime minister was alerted by the United Arab Emirates about a major operation planned against Israel ten days before the attack.
According to a work being published, Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly received a warning from the president of the United Arab Emirates indicating that Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza, was planning a major operation against Israel. This information was reportedly communicated ten days before the October 7 attack.
These revelations are causing a political earthquake in Israel, according to Le Monde, reviving questions about the advance information available concerning the attack that marked the turning point of the conflict.
