Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett confirmed reports that the President of the United Arab Emirates had explicitly warned then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about an impending attack, but that Netanyahu ignored the intelligence. Bennett stated, "I know that the President of the Emirates warned Netanyahu, and he ignored it." This statement comes in the wake of a report by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz detailing the intelligence received prior to the October 7th Hamas attacks.
The Haaretz report alleged that Netanyahu received a direct warning days before the attacks but failed to update the IDF and Shin Bet. Bennett's confirmation lends significant weight to these claims, suggesting a critical failure in leadership and intelligence dissemination within the Prime Minister's office at the time.
