Benjamin Netanyahu ignored an “explicit warning” in the lead-up to October 7th, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, the President of the United Arab Emirates, called Netanyahu a week and a half before the attacks with a specific warning, the journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval report. They write that bin Zayed cautioned that Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’s leader in Gaza, was “preparing a major event” in the near future. Sinwar was quoted in the article as telling an official from the rival Fatah faction that he was planning a “zilzal”—an “earthquake.” Netanyahu seemed untroubled, a close adviser to the Emirati ruler told the journalists. He didn’t update the heads of Israel’s security establishment about the conversation. Instead, he assured bin Zayed that Israel was “prepared for any scenario.”
“Newsbreaks in Haaretz, a liberal paper with strong investigative reporting, are often met with silence by much of the country, or brushed off as leftist propaganda by Netanyahu and his mouthpieces in the media,” Ruth Margalit writes. “This story seemed to land differently.” Read about the Israeli public’s response to the report and what it could mean for the upcoming elections: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/N2…

🚨🇺🇦🇳🇴 Zelensky says Ukraine and nine European partners are moving forward with the FREYJA anti-ballistic missile program, designed to create an integrated European defense against aerial and ballistic threats.
Together with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Zelensky met executives from FirePoint, Kongsberg, Weibel, Saab, Diehl Defence, Hensoldt, Thales, Safran, Sener and Leonardo. Ukraine, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom are involved in the initiative. Zelensky said governments and industry have now agreed on what each side must do and that the first practical results are expected.
🔥 FREYJA could become one of Europe’s most ambitious air-defense projects if it moves from coordination into real production and deployment. For Ukraine, the value is obvious: combining Ukrainian combat experience with Europe’s radar, sensor and missile industries could eventually create a much deeper and more sustainable layer of ballistic-missile defense.

Whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was directly warned prior to the October 7, 2023, attacks is a subject of intense controversy, with investigative reports alleging he was given explicit advance warning, while Netanyahu himself vehemently denies it.
A bombshell investigation published in September 2026 by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reveals that United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed personally called Netanyahu approximately 10 days before the attack. During a 45-minute call, the Emirati leader allegedly warned Netanyahu explicitly that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning a major operation against Israel that could destabilize the region. According to the report, Netanyahu dismissed the threat, incorrectly assessing that Hamas intended to focus its efforts on the West Bank. Following these revelations, Netanyahu strongly denied the claims, calling them an “absolute lie” and a politically motivated fabrication, and announced he is instructing his lawyers to file a libel lawsuit against Haaretz.
Key Findings and Perspectives
- The Emirati Warning Report: The Haaretz investigation, detailed in a book by journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruti Yuval, alleges that the UAE contacted Netanyahu directly after realizing Israeli intelligence was not reacting to initial signals. They state Netanyahu hid this warning and never updated his security chiefs.
- Netanyahu’s Libel Lawsuit: The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) released statements asserting that no such communication took place and that phone records show no contact between Netanyahu and the UAE during September 2023. Netanyahu is actively suing the publication and the reporting journalist for defamation.
- The UAE’s Stance: The UAE Foreign Ministry declined to issue an official denial to back up Netanyahu’s inner circle. Officials conveyed that they will not interfere in Israeli domestic political debates or serve as a public relations wing, but noted that relevant intelligence is always passed through appropriate direct channels.
- Domestic Political Fallout: Coming shortly before crucial Israeli parliamentary elections, opposition leaders have heavily attacked Netanyahu. Rivals such as Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eisenkot declared him “unfit” to lead, accusing him of gross negligence and deflecting historical blame onto the security establishment.
Several major international and domestic news broadcasts have covered the intense political storm surrounding what Netanyahu knew prior to the security breakdown:

Рішення так званого російського «суду» не мають для мене, як і для решти людства, жодного значення. Значення має лише моя робота, яка змушує ворога панікувати та ухвалювати подібні шедеври абсурду. Вважаю такі дії ворога своєрідним визнанням ефективності. Що ж, планку опускати не можна, працюватиму й надалі так само плідно.
