Netanyahu Denies UAE President's Hamas Invasion Warning Before Oct. 7

The Prime Minister's Office has denied reports that the President of the UAE warned Benjamin Netanyahu about an impending Hamas invasion 10 days before the October 7th attacks. The office stated that the report, published by Haaretz based on a journalistic investigation by Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval, is false and that no such warning was given or ignored. This creates a 'he said, she said' situation, where proving the truth is difficult.

The article argues that in such disputes, the party that committed deception and can conceal evidence often benefits, as does their supporter base. It suggests that Netanyahu's office has a history of fabricating information, citing former spokesperson Eli Feldstein. In contrast, the authors of the investigation, Eldar and Yuval, are presented as credible journalists who have not been caught in intentional falsehoods.

The author proposes a logical analysis method to discern truth from rumor when direct verification is impossible. The principle is that what is illogical is likely untrue, and what is logical may be true. Applying this to the alleged UAE warning, the article posits that Netanyahu's denial is less credible than the journalists' report, given his office's alleged pattern of deception.

Furthermore, the piece lists numerous prior warnings Netanyahu allegedly received about a potential Hamas attack, including from Avigdor Lieberman, Yoav Gallant, AMAN military intelligence, retired officers, and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar. It also references a report from Egyptian intelligence about an imminent "terrible something" from Hamas. The article suggests that Netanyahu's focus on the judicial reform and his dismissal of these warnings demonstrate his unfitness for office.
