Former PM Bennett Claims UAE President Warned Netanyahu of Oct 7 Attack
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett stated that he knows the President of the United Arab Emirates warned then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about an impending attack days before October 7th, but Netanyahu ignored the warning. Bennett asserted that Netanyahu received this explicit warning but failed to update the IDF and Shin Bet. This revelation comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the intelligence failures leading up to the Hamas attack.
Bennett's statement, reported by "Haaretz," adds another layer to the complex questions surrounding the events of October 7th. The report highlights that despite the explicit warning from a foreign leader, the relevant security agencies were not informed, raising serious concerns about leadership and decision-making in the period preceding the attack.
