> Israeli media reported that UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 10 days before Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack that the group was planning a major operation. Netanyahu's office denied receiving any warning, while the UAE Foreign Ministry said relevant intelligence is communicated when necessary. The reports come ahead of Israeli elections and have renewed calls for an inquiry into the failure surrounding the attack.
