"The UAE had warned Netanyahu about the possibility of an attack by Hamas prior to October 7"—this is the report that has deeply alarmed the Israeli Prime Minister, prompting him to ask Emirati officials to deny the story.

*The Times of Israel* and Israel’s Channel 12 have acknowledged that Benjamin Netanyahu made a secret trip to Abu Dhabi on Sunday to ask UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed to cover up the facts behind the scenes regarding the October 7 attack.

Reports had previously surfaced indicating that the UAE had warned Israel of an imminent threat from Hamas before the October 7, 2023 attack.

According to informed sources, Netanyahu held a six-hour meeting with Bin Zayed in the UAE yesterday; regional tensions and the "threat posed by Iran" were among the key topics of discussion. The head of the Mossad and the head of the Israeli National Security Council also accompanied him on the trip.

The UAE Foreign Ministry declined to comment on reports regarding the meeting but stated that it maintains "open and direct lines of communication" with Israel and shares "all relevant information."

Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel has been described by many experts as a "strategic failure" for Israel—a failure that has cast a shadow over Netanyahu's political career and placed him at the center of criticism. Now that it has been revealed that Netanyahu had prior knowledge of Hamas's preparations for an attack, the situation has become dire for the Prime Minister—particularly with Israeli elections approaching.

Furthermore, according to published reports, Egyptian officials had warned Netanyahu about the impending assault 48 hours before it took place, yet the Israeli Prime Minister disregarded these warnings.
