Netanyahu did not discuss UAE's October 7 warning at Gaza security meeting week of attack - report

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not discuss a reported warning from the United Arab Emirates regarding a major Hamas attack during a security meeting held in the week leading up to October 7, 2023. The development stems from a recent report and subsequent public denials.

Netanyahu, along with officials from the United States and the UAE, has refuted allegations originally published by Haaretz. The initial claims suggested that UAE leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) had directly warned the Israeli prime minister about an impending large-scale assault in the days prior to the outbreak of the war.
