Netanyahu Denies UAE President Warned Him of Hamas Attack
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has denied reports that he visited the United Arab Emirates to persuade President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to deny claims that he had warned Netanyahu about an impending Hamas attack before October 7, 2023. The Prime Minister's office stated that the visit was solely focused on strengthening relations between the two countries and addressing regional challenges, calling the reports "fake news."
The UAE's official news agency confirmed the meeting between bin Zayed and Netanyahu, stating that the leaders discussed bilateral relations and ways to strengthen them. However, the UAE statement did not mention any discussion about prior warnings regarding Hamas.
In separate news, Israel's ambassador to the Netherlands, Tzvika Avivne, is expected to be summoned for a reprimand by the Dutch Foreign Ministry. This follows Israel's decision to revoke diplomatic approvals for Dutch representatives in Ramallah, in response to the Netherlands implementing a ban on products from Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Golan Heights. Dutch authorities are reportedly inspecting goods such as tahini, halva, dates, silan, olive oil, and wines from these areas at the airport.
Additionally, the IDF reported that its forces in southern Lebanon neutralized two suspects who had infiltrated Israeli-controlled territory and approached the troops. The incident is currently under investigation.
