Former U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected reports suggesting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received advance warnings from Egypt and the UAE about the October 7 Hamas attacks. In an interview with TIME magazine published Thursday, Trump stated he heard about these claims for the first time that day and does not believe them.
"I don't think so," Trump said. "I think if he knew, he would have done something about it. He certainly would have made sure at least his people were on alert."
Despite his comments on the alleged warnings, Trump declined to publicly endorse Netanyahu's candidacy in the upcoming Israeli elections, stating he is "no longer involved in politics." When asked if future cooperation with Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the "Yisrael" party, might be more fruitful, Trump responded, "I don't know, I haven't heard bad things about him."
