The United Arab Emirates has responded to Israeli media reports claiming that President Mohamed bin Zayed warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the October 7th Hamas attacks about an impending "earthquake" planned by Yahya Sinwar. In a statement released by Abu Dhabi, the UAE stated, "The UAE does not comment on media reports or speculation regarding conversations." The statement further emphasized that since the normalization of relations, government bodies in both countries have maintained open and direct communication channels. "When necessary, all relevant intelligence information is shared and continues to be shared between the relevant parties," the UAE added.
The reports, which surfaced in Israeli media, suggested that bin Zayed had conveyed a specific warning to Netanyahu about Sinwar's intentions. The UAE's official response, however, refrains from confirming or denying the specific content of any alleged warning, instead highlighting the ongoing intelligence cooperation between the two nations.
