- Denial refutes claims of unaddressed early warnings.
The Prime Minister's Office issued a strong denial on Tuesday evening to media reports claiming that the United Arab Emirates had warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of a significant security development before the Hamas attack on October 7. A statement released on the Prime Minister's Office's official X account, formerly Twitter, asserted that the publications were untrue and that Netanyahu received no such warning from the UAE prior to the Hamas assault.
The Prime Minister's Office emphasized that if the UAE possessed any relevant intelligence regarding a security threat to Israel, it would have been conveyed through established intelligence channels and professional connections between the two countries, not through direct contact with the Prime Minister. This announcement aims to refute claims made in recent publications and dismiss the possibility that an early warning was delivered to Israeli political leadership and went unaddressed.
Essentially, the Prime Minister's Office concluded that the allegation of Netanyahu receiving a direct warning from the UAE before October 7 does not align with reality, labeling the reports on the matter as false.
