An Egyptian aircraft that landed in Israel on September 26, 2023, carried two businessmen, not Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel, according to KAN News. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the flight's arrival before October 7 but denied meeting Kamel, despite prior official statements and photos showing them together in 2021. Israeli security chiefs were reportedly unaware of Kamel's alleged visit.
