United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan reportedly warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a major Hamas operation in late September 2023. During a 45-minute phone call, the Emirati leader urged Netanyahu to prepare for a horrific event and seek economic solutions.
According to an investigation published by Haaretz for an upcoming book, Netanyahu did not share this warning with Israel's military and security chiefs. Instead, the prime minister reportedly dismissed the concerns, expressing belief that Hamas intended to operate in the West Bank.
“Devi prepararti per un evento orribile”
The findings are based on dozens of sources, including three senior foreign officials familiar with the discussions. The investigation is detailed in the forthcoming book titled "Kidnapped: 843 Days of Abandonment" by authors Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval.
Following the publication, the Israeli prime minister's office rejected the report as a complete lie. Despite the denial, the revelation sparked immediate political backlash from opposition leaders in Israel.
