New allegations against Netanyahu: Egyptian intelligence officers warned repeatedly of a possible 7 October

“I believe we will win the war very soon.” This was stated by US President Donald Trump in an interview with Fox News on the sidelines of the President’s Cup at the Medinah Country Club, just outside Chicago. Trump also predicted a fall in oil prices once the war is over and said he believes the United States is winning it “thanks to both economic pressure and military action”.

According to Channel 12, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to the United Arab Emirates this morning and met with President bin Zayed. Two sources confirm that Netanyahu travelled to Abu Dhabi on a private jet and met with bin Zayed. This evening, the Prime Minister returned to Israel. The Prime Minister’s Office has declined to provide details of the meeting.

The head of Egyptian intelligence, Abbas Kamel, telephoned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a few days before the Hamas offensive on 7 October 2023 to issue a further warning and report signs of an imminent attack from Gaza, after two previous Egyptian warnings had been ignored. The news, which comes from the Wall Street Journal, has been widely reported in the Israeli press. The latest warning came in early October, when Kamel rang Netanyahu’s office directly. A source reported that Egypt continued to issue warnings right up until almost 48 hours before the attack.
