Reports emerge that Egypt and UAE warned Netanyahu of impending Hamas attack before October 7
A Wall Street Journal report stated that Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu days before the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, following two earlier Egyptian warnings. The report also said UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed warned Netanyahu in September 2023. Netanyahu has denied receiving warnings from either Egypt or the UAE, while a former Mossad official said he was unaware of any such warnings and another former Mossad head said the multiple sources could not be ignored.
