The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was allegedly warned about a Hamas attack days before October 7, but took no action. According to the publication, the warning was given by the President of the United Arab Emirates.
This is not the first time allegations have emerged that Netanyahu had knowledge that Hamas was planning an attack. However, this new information is distinguished by clearly identifying the source of the warning: the Emirati head of state.
The article does not specify how many days before October 7 the warning was given, nor what were the alleged reasons for the Israeli prime minister's inaction. The situation raises new questions about the responsibility of the Israeli government in responding to the events of that day.
