Lawyer Ephraim Demari has revealed new details regarding a meeting between the head of Egyptian intelligence and a senior Israeli official prior to the October 7th Hamas attacks. Demari stated that the information shared during this meeting could have prevented the massacre, but the meeting was concealed from Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Demari, who represented Major Y., claimed that his client provided factual data about the meeting and the information transferred from the Egyptian intelligence chief to a very senior Israeli figure. "This wasn't just the government," Demari asserted, adding that Netanyahu was kept in the dark about this encounter.

His statements follow Prime Minister Netanyahu's confirmation in a TV interview that the Egyptian intelligence chief visited Israel days before October 7th. Netanyahu mentioned that the Egyptian official did not meet with him because he was attending a memorial ceremony for IDF fallen soldiers at the time.

Netanyahu had previously questioned who the Israeli officials were that met with the Egyptian intelligence chief during his visit, expressing a desire to know who he met with, as he himself was unaware.
