Days before the October 7th attacks, the leader of the United Arab Emirates warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Hamas was preparing for war. According to a new report, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar communicated this message through the UAE, stating he was ready to launch an “earthquake” due to stalled negotiations with Israel. Despite receiving this critical intelligence, Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly did not share the warning with the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has confirmed the report's accuracy. This revelation raises questions about the preparedness of Israel and the response to the impending threat from Hamas. The information surfaced as scrutiny continues regarding the intelligence failures leading up to the devastating attacks.
