> Atlantic staff writer Vivian Salama says Egypt’s then-intelligence chief Abbas Kamel made an unusual 67-minute visit to Israel less than two weeks before the Oct. 7, 2023 attack to warn officials that intelligence indicated Hamas was mobilizing for a major assault. Several regional governments also raised concerns, but questions remain over who received the warning.
