Report: Egypt’s spy chief warned Israel of major Hamas attack 11 days before Oct. 7
The Atlantic said Kamel stayed 67 minutes and urged economic concessions, while officials said he gave no date or attack details.
- Egypt's then-intelligence chief Abbas Kamel visited Israel 11 days before the Hamas-led October 7 attack and warned officials that the group appeared to be preparing a major assault, according to The Atlantic.
- On September 26, 2023, Kamel arrived at Ben Gurion Airport aboard a chartered Cessna, coinciding with a Jerusalem ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War where Netanyahu spoke.
- Kamel urged Israel to grant Hamas economic concessions to avert conflict, while officials from seven countries told the magazine the visit should have alerted senior Israeli leaders to the threat.
- Tzachi Hanegbi, Israel's national security adviser at the time, denied the visit occurred or that Egypt delivered any warning, while Netanyahu's spokespeople did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
- Netanyahu reportedly plans to sue Haaretz over reports he knew of the threat beforehand; separately, reports indicate the UAE warned the prime minister about Hamas's plan a month before the attack.
