Netanyahu Denies Meeting Egyptian Intel Chief Before Oct. 7
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday denied reports claiming he met with former Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel several days before the October 7th Hamas attack, during which he allegedly received a warning. Netanyahu took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to refute the information.
In his post, Netanyahu also attacked former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, accusing him of deciding not to contact Netanyahu and of failing to warn military units or evacuate the Nova music festival on the night of the attack. Netanyahu suggested Bar's actions, including sending a small team from the "Tequila" unit, indicated he knew of a "real danger."
Netanyahu further alleged that "strange and hostile countries and entities, including Arab countries," were behind these "lies" with the aim of toppling his right-wing government and replacing it with a left-wing one supported by Arab parties.
Aryeh Barnea, a researcher and educator, discussed the ongoing reports about Netanyahu's alleged warning and the general atmosphere in Israel ahead of elections on Hala TV.
