The UAE would have warned Netanyahu of a major Hamas attack days before October 7

The president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, allegedly warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu via telephone nearly two weeks before October 7th that Hamas was planning a large-scale attack, according to an investigation by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. The report claims that during a 45-minute call, Bin Zayed informed Netanyahu that then-Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was preparing an operation that would cause significant bloodshed, destabilize the Middle East, and undermine the Abraham Accords between Israel and Arab nations. Netanyahu reportedly responded with relative calm, dismissing the threat, and did not take immediate action. According to the investigation, Netanyahu had previously authorized negotiations with Hamas to ease economic sanctions on Gaza in exchange for reducing tensions, including plans to release prisoners. However, these efforts were delayed repeatedly, leading to frustration among Hamas leaders, who eventually decided to proceed with their planned attack.

Netanyahu ignored the warnings about the Hamas attack on 7-O despite knowing it a week before

Un artículo publicado por el diario israelí Haaretz revela que el primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, fue informado por los Emiratos Árabes Unidos una semana antes del ataque masivo de Hamás contra Israel el 7 de octubre de 2023. La información ha generado críticas dentro de Israel, con varios líderes de la oposición considerando inapta la gestión de Netanyahu ante esta amenaza. El reporte se basa en fuentes internas y documentos obtenidos por el periódico, aunque no se proporcionan detalles específicos sobre cómo se obtuvo la información ni si hubo acciones concretas tomadas por Netanyahu en respuesta.

Netanyahu was alerted that Hamas was planning to attack a week before October 7, according to Haaretz

Un reportaje exclusivo de Haaretz revela que el presidente de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Mohamed bin Zayed, advirtió al primer ministro israelí Benjamin Netanyahu una semana antes del ataque del 7 de octubre sobre planes de Hamás de realizar un ataque masivo. La conversación, que duró 45 minutos, fue realizada por teléfono y fue ignorada por Netanyahu, quien respondió con calma. Según fuentes israelíes, meses antes Netanyahu había autorizado negociaciones con Hamás para reducir el bloqueo económico a cambio de paz, pero estas fueron pospuestas y finalmente abandonadas. El líder hamasí, Yahya Sinwar, habló de una 'gran sorpresa' o 'terremoto' contra Israel.

Mantiene un equilibrio al presentar tanto la advertencia de Bin Zayed como la respuesta de Netanyahu, sin tomar una
