Report: Egyptian Official Warned Netanyahu Days Before October 7

The story · English

A report claims that a senior Egyptian official contacted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu days before the October 7 Hamas attacks to warn him about the impending danger. The report, which has not been officially confirmed, suggests that the warning was conveyed by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi or the head of Egyptian intelligence.

According to the report, the warning indicated that Hamas was planning a significant escalation and threatened to "explode" if their demands were not met, implying a potential for large-scale violence. This information has surfaced approximately three years after the alleged warning and shortly before upcoming elections, leading to speculation about the timing and motives behind its release.

Critics and commentators have questioned the timing of this report, suggesting it could be politically motivated, aimed at influencing the upcoming elections by either discrediting or bolstering Netanyahu's government. Some argue that if the warning was genuine, it should have been disclosed much earlier, while others dismiss it as "fake news" or a deliberate attempt to manipulate public opinion.

Supporters of Netanyahu, however, have used the report to criticize those they deem "leftists" or "traitors" who they believe are attempting to oust him from power. They argue that such leaks are part of a broader effort to undermine his leadership, regardless of the truth of the claims. The article itself contains a significant amount of vitriolic commentary from various individuals, expressing strong opinions for and against Netanyahu and questioning the credibility of the report and its sources.
