- The alleged warning was reportedly not shared with security chiefs.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has vehemently denied reports claiming that Israel received advance warning from the United Arab Emirates regarding the Hamas attack on October 7. In an official English statement released on the Prime Minister's X account, Netanyahu's office asserted that the media allegations are baseless.
"The press reports are false. No warning was given to the Prime Minister from the United Arab Emirates before October 7th," the statement read. The Prime Minister's Office further clarified that any relevant information would have been transmitted through established intelligence channels between the two nations.
This strong denial comes in response to a new investigative report that has caused significant controversy within Israel's political and security circles. The report alleged that approximately ten days before the attack, UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed personally spoke with Netanyahu, warning him that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning a significant, bloody operation.
The investigation further claimed that Prime Minister Netanyahu did not relay this dramatic warning to the heads of the security establishment. Netanyahu's office has categorically rejected this claim, describing it as entirely untrue.
