Netanyahu was warned by UAE president of major Hamas attack 10 days before Oct. 7: Haaretz

  • Haaretz reported on Tuesday that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of an imminent Hamas "earthquake" in late September 2023, though Netanyahu's office categorically denied the conversation, calling the report "an absolute lie."
  • Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar reportedly told an intermediary he was preparing a "terrifying operation" and an "earthquake" in September 2023, with intelligence about this threat reaching the Shin Bet by September 15, 2023.
  • Former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi reportedly stated they were never informed of the Emirati warning, while Netanyahu allegedly claimed Hamas was focused on the West Bank during that period.
  • Opposition leaders including former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and electoral challenger Gadi Eisenkot accused Netanyahu of "criminal negligence," demanding an independent commission of inquiry and declaring him unfit to serve.
  • The investigation parallels separate allegations that Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel warned Netanyahu of "something unusual" before the October 7, 2023, attack, which killed 1,221 people and triggered the ongoing conflict.
