UAE Official Denies Direct Warning to Netanyahu Before Oct. 7
An official source in the United Arab Emirates has clarified that the UAE did not directly warn Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the impending Hamas attack on October 7, according to The National newspaper. The Emirati official stated that security discussions between the UAE and other nations are conducted through relevant channels, not at the level of national leaders.
This statement comes amid renewed attention to claims that Abu Dhabi possessed intelligence prior to the Hamas assault and whether this information was conveyed to Israel in the weeks leading up to the attack. The issue has gained prominence in Israel as security concerns are a central theme in the upcoming election campaigns.
The Prime Minister's Office has also responded to the allegations. The context for these claims and the subsequent clarifications arises from the ongoing political discourse surrounding the events of October 7 and Israel's preparedness.
