Netanyahu Kept UAE Oct. 7 Warning From Security Chiefs in Meeting Days Before: NYT
The paper said Netanyahu did not tell security chiefs, and minutes show he urged calm in Gaza to protect Saudi normalization talks.
- On October 1, 2023, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened senior security officials for a Gaza briefing but did not mention a secret warning about potential Hamas violence he allegedly received from UAE President Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed.
- Sheikh Mohammed reportedly called Netanyahu in late September to convey information that Hamas was considering a major attack, though the warning did not specify whether the threat involved a rocket barrage or a ground invasion.
- Minutes from the October 1 session show Netanyahu pushed for calm in Gaza, warning that military action against Hamas could sabotage Saudi Arabia normalization efforts, despite calls for strikes from Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.
- Five former senior Israeli officials stated the Emirati warning never reached the heads of the security establishment, while Netanyahu has repeatedly denied receiving such a warning or holding a relevant phone call.
- The dispute over what Netanyahu knew has become increasingly prominent ahead of next month's election, as critics argue political leadership must answer for failures that preceded the October 7, 2023, attack.
