In a secret meeting with the President of the United Arab Emirates, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked him to deny the information that the UAE warned Israel about the impending attack by Hamas in November 2023. This was reported by the AP, citing two people familiar with the details of the meeting.

The Prime Minister of Israel made a secret visit to the United Arab Emirates, where he met with President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Israel’s Kan TV channel was the first to report the trip, but the reasons for the trip were still unknown.

The meeting lasted about an hour and the prime minister’s request was the only topic of discussion.

The scandal surrounding the warning of the UAE leader happened after the publication of the newspaper Haaretz, in which she claimed that having received information from Sheikh bin Zayed about the impending attack of militants, Mr. Netanyahu did not pass this information to the special services. The prime minister denied the allegations and promised to sue the newspaper. Representatives of the UAE did not comment on the publication.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Egyptian authorities warned Netanyahu three times about the impending attack, but he ignored these warnings.
