Netanyahu was warned of 7 October Hamas attacks, book claims
A new book by Haaretz reporters alleges the Israeli PM received advance notice from the UAE president of the planned offensive, a claim Netanyahu denies.
Benjamin Netanyahu was personally alerted by the president of the United Arab Emirates that Hamas was planning a large-scale offensive against Israel a week before the 7 October 2023 attack, but did not act on the warning, according to a book by Haaretz reporters. Netanyahu denied the allegation, calling it an "absolute lie" and stating he did not speak to the Emirati leader at that time.
The claim has emerged amid Israel's election campaign, prompting opposition leaders to describe the prime minister as "unfit" for office.
