Netanyahu Faces Fresh Allegations He Ignored Warnings About Oct. 7

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing renewed allegations that he failed to act on warnings from Arab allies before Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack. A new book says United Arab Emirates President Mohamed bin Zayed called Netanyahu ten days beforehand about a possible major Hamas operation. Egyptian intelligence officials reportedly delivered warnings too. Netanyahu denies receiving any such alerts, calling the claims false and politically motivated. The revelations have renewed calls in Israel for an independent state inquiry into security failures, weeks before an election scheduled for October 27.
