UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan informed CIA Director William Burns after October 7th that he had conveyed a "general warning about the volatile situation on the ground" to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prior to the Hamas attacks. This warning, however, was not a specific alert about an impending war, according to a source familiar with the details who spoke to i24NEWS.

The revelation came from Amichai Stein during the main evening broadcast. The conversation between bin Zayed and Burns reportedly took place after the October 7th massacre, during which the UAE president detailed his prior communication with Netanyahu.
