PM's Office Denies Wall Street Journal Report on Abbas Kamel Warning
The Prime Minister's Office has vehemently denied a report published by The Wall Street Journal, which claimed that Egypt's then-intelligence chief, Abbas Kamel, contacted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in early October 2023. According to the report, this alleged call occurred just days before the October 7th Hamas attacks and warned Netanyahu of an impending assault from the Gaza Strip.
The Prime Minister's Office issued a statement calling the report "a false claim." They asserted that "in the months preceding October 7th, Prime Minister Netanyahu did not meet or speak with Abbas Kamel, who then headed Egypt's General Intelligence Service, nor did any Israeli intelligence official convey such a warning to the Prime Minister."
The statement further criticized the repeated nature of such reports, stating, "The recycled lies will not become truth even if they are repeated over and over again." The office's strong rebuttal directly contradicts the Journal's findings regarding the alleged communication and warning.
