Israeli Newspaper Reports UAE President Warned Netanyahu of Hamas Operation Before October 7th Attack
An Israeli newspaper report claims the UAE president warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about an impending major Hamas operation days before the October 7th attack, a report that Netanyahu's office has denied as an "absolute lie."
South Bend Elkhart, IN, September 8, 2026 —
An Israeli newspaper has reported that the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) purportedly issued a warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding an imminent major Hamas operation. According to the report, this alleged warning was delivered days prior to the Hamas attacks that occurred on October 7th.
The report originates from an Israeli newspaper, the specific name of which was not provided in the summary of the trend. Details concerning the nature of the alleged warning, including its specificity or the exact date it was purportedly conveyed, were not detailed.
Following the publication of this claim, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a strong denial. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s office stated that the report was an “absolute lie.” This unequivocally rejects the veracity of the newspaper’s account.
The report and its subsequent denial highlight the intense scrutiny and questioning surrounding the events leading up to the October 7th attacks. The alleged foreknowledge, whether real or fabricated, adds another layer to the ongoing discussions and investigations concerning intelligence assessments and preparedness.
No further information regarding the source of the newspaper’s report, corroborating evidence, or subsequent actions taken by either the UAE or Israeli leadership following the alleged warning was provided. The contractor’s name was not provided. The fine amount was not provided.
