> Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed lawyers to begin defamation proceedings against Haaretz over a report that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed warned him shortly before the 7 October 2023 attacks that Hamas was preparing a major operation. Netanyahu’s office denied any warning and called the report a “sinister plot”, while Haaretz stood by its reporting.
