The movement of senior Palestinian official Mohammed Dahlan has vehemently denied accusations by the Likud party that he was behind a Haaretz newspaper report. The report detailed a supposed phone call between the UAE leader and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which Netanyahu was allegedly warned about the October 7th Hamas attack.
Dahlan's movement called the Likud's claims a "ridiculous and misleading incitement campaign," according to Channel 12 News. The Likud had previously issued a strong statement, labeling the Haaretz story a "blatant foreign interference in Israeli elections" and asserting that Dahlan, residing in the UAE, was the source of the "false report."
The Likud further accused Dahlan of forming a joint list with Hamas for Palestinian Authority elections and aiming to overthrow Netanyahu's right-wing government to seize control of Gaza. They suggested Dahlan desires a weak left-wing government that would withdraw from Gaza, facilitating his takeover.
Additionally, the Likud claimed the Haaretz report was published after receiving payment from a left-wing organization linked to Yair Golan's The Democrats party, intended to spread Dahlan's "false narrative." The Likud demanded a criminal investigation into Haaretz journalists and other unnamed individuals.
Haaretz newspaper, in response, stated that it stands by its publication.
