An Emirati source has stated that United Arab Emirates President Mohamed bin Zayed did not warn Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about an impending attack before October 7th. The source, speaking to The National, did not rule out a conversation between the two leaders but emphasized that the UAE discusses security matters through relevant channels, not typically at the leader-to-leader level for such specific details. This statement comes amidst reported Israeli pressure on the UAE. The official UAE news agency is WAM, while The National is owned by a media company linked to a private investment group of the royal family.
Following reports that Netanyahu received explicit intelligence from Yahya Sinwar about a planned operation prior to the Hamas attack, Abu Dhabi officially commented that government bodies in both countries maintained open communication and shared relevant intelligence as needed.
