Report claims UAE warned Israeli PM Netanyahu of major Hamas attack 10 days before October 7; Netanyahu's office denies it

An Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, reported that the UAE president personally warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of a major impending Hamas operation about ten days before the October 7, 2023 attacks. Netanyahu's office has called the report an "absolute lie," but the revelation has ignited a political firestorm in Israel, with opposition leaders demanding a state inquiry.
