According to a report from Haaretz, the UAE’s leader Mohammed bin Zayed provided an explicit warning to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu days before the October 7 attacks that Hamas was planning a major military operation. The report suggests Netanyahu did not convey this critical intelligence to Israel’s security chiefs despite the explicit nature of the warning.

Netanyahu’s office has categorically denied the report, calling it ‘a total lie.’ The allegation raises serious questions about the handling of intelligence prior to the October 7 attacks, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 Israelis and the hostage crisis that continues to affect the country.

The report comes amid ongoing investigations into the intelligence and security failures that preceded the October 7 attacks, with this alleged warning from a key regional partner representing one of the most serious claims of ignored threat intelligence to emerge.
