Netanyahu Denies WSJ Report of Pre-Oct. 7 Warning from Egyptian Intelligence Chief
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vehemently denied claims made in a Wall Street Journal report alleging that Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel warned Netanyahu of an imminent attack from Gaza days before the October 7, 2023, Hamas assault. Netanyahu's office stated that the report's assertions are "false," asserting that the Prime Minister had neither met nor spoken with Kamel in the months leading up to the attack. Furthermore, they stated that no Israeli intelligence official conveyed such a warning to Netanyahu.
The Prime Minister's office also pointed to an official Egyptian denial issued on October 11, 2023, which refuted any prior warning about the October 7 attack. However, the Wall Street Journal report cited officials from an Arab government who claimed Kamel had indeed contacted Netanyahu prior to the attack as part of a third Egyptian warning regarding potential indicators of an assault from Gaza.
