The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu categorically denied having received a warning from the United Arab Emirates about an imminent Hamas attack days before October 7, 2023. According to the Haaretz newspaper, based on a book to be released soon, the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Zayed, contacted Netanyahu during the last week of September 2023 to alert him that Hamas was planning a major operation, information that Netanyahu allegedly did not pass on to his security chiefs. The Emirates refused to comment directly on the allegation, but indicated that relevant intelligence information is shared when necessary. The publication of this investigation provoked strong criticism from the Israeli opposition, which is demanding an independent inquiry commission, at a time when Israel is preparing for legislative elections on October 27.
