Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has vehemently denied a report claiming that Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel warned Netanyahu of an impending attack from Gaza in early October 2023. The Prime Minister's office stated that the report, which originated from the "Wall Street Journal" and was also cited by "The New York Times," is false and recycles previously denied information to mislead the public.
According to the Prime Minister's office, Egypt officially denied warning Israel about the October 7th attack on October 11, 2023. Furthermore, the office asserted that Netanyahu did not meet or speak with Abbas Kamel in the months leading up to the attack, nor did any Israeli intelligence official convey such a warning to the Prime Minister.
The statement emphasized that the claim was already denied at the time and is now being recirculated. The Prime Minister's office insists that neither Netanyahu nor any Israeli intelligence official received such a warning prior to the Hamas assault.
