A report by The New York Times alleges that the President of the United Arab Emirates warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in September 2023 about an impending, broad attack by Hamas. According to the report, this crucial intelligence was never passed on to the heads of the security establishment.
The publication of this report comes shortly before upcoming elections, adding a political dimension to the claims. Prime Minister Netanyahu has previously denied these allegations, dismissing them as politically motivated.
This report follows similar claims made by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which also suggested that Netanyahu received advance warning of a Hamas offensive but failed to act on it.
