Egypt Warned Netanyahu of Gaza Attack Before Oct. 7, Report Says
Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel reportedly contacted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu three times in early October 2023 to warn of an impending attack from the Gaza Strip. The Wall Street Journal reported that Kamel's calls were made after two previous Egyptian warnings to Israel went unheeded.
The final call, which occurred shortly before the October 7th Hamas-led attack, specifically cautioned Netanyahu about an imminent threat originating from Gaza. The report suggests that these warnings were not given the necessary attention by the Israeli leadership.
This revelation comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Israel's preparedness and intelligence failures leading up to the unprecedented assault. The timing of the Egyptian warnings, if accurate, raises significant questions about the Israeli government's response to intelligence indicating a potential large-scale attack.
