7-October: explosive revelation, Netanyahu would have been warned before the attack and would not have transmitted anything

A potentially devastating revelation comes head-on into Benyamin Netanyahu’s defense of the October 7 disaster. According to a vast investigation published by the Israeli daily Haaretz, the Israeli Prime Minister received, around ten days before the attack, a personal warning from the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Zayed: Yahya Sinouar was preparing a major operation likely to cause a bloodbath and set the region ablaze.

According to the investigation, Mohammed bin Zayed telephoned war criminal Netanyahu directly. The conversation reportedly lasted approximately 45 minutes. The Emirati leader would have insisted on the extremely worrying nature of the information received concerning Sinouar. Netanyahu would then have reassured his interlocutor: Israel would be prepared for all scenarios and Hamas would, according to his analysis, seek to act mainly in the West Bank. But the most damning thing is elsewhere: this warning would not have been transmitted neither to the chief of staff of the Israeli army, nor to the head of the Shin Bet, nor to that of the Mossad.

In other words, if the story of Haaretz is correct, an alert arriving directly at the top of the State would have remained locked up at the top.

And it wouldn’t have been the only alert

The matter becomes even heavier for Netanyahu. According to the Israeli press, less than a week before October 7, the head of the Shin Bet at the time, Ronen Bar, also alerted the Prime Minister that “something extreme” was being prepared in Gaza. He even reportedly recommended hitting Yahya Sinouar and several senior Hamas officials. The genocidal Netanyahu would not have given the green light to this proposal, according to a security source cited by the Israeli press. These revelations considerably weaken the story of a Prime Minister who, for three years, has regularly tried to shift responsibility for the October 7 fiasco to the army and the intelligence services.

Because a question now becomes impossible to dodge: what exactly did Netanyahu know, when did he know it and why did he not act?

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett went even further. He claims that the information according to which Netanyahu was warned before the massacre is “true”. His rival Gadi Eisenkot, former chief of staff of the Israeli army, accuses Netanyahu of having ignored multiple warnings and of having led Israel “blindly” towards the disaster of October 7. Several opposition figures are now calling for his departure and the opening of a real state commission of inquiry.

Netanyahu’s narrative is cracking

In recent weeks, the pathological liar Netanyahu accused security officials of not having woken him up early enough on the night before the attack, suggesting that, if properly informed, he could have prevented the catastrophe. But the accumulating revelations now paint a much more embarrassing picture: that of a Prime Minister who received several extremely serious signals before October 7 and who did not take the necessary measures. The defense of the genocidal Netanyahu therefore appears increasingly fragile. He claims not to have been sufficiently informed, while several investigations and testimonies suggest on the contrary that serious alerts had been sent to him well before the attack.

His office denounces an “absolute lie” and assures that Netanyahu did not speak to the Emirati president during the period concerned and received no warning from him. But this denial will probably not be enough to put out the political fire. Because if the investigation Haaretz is confirmed, the question will no longer be just that of a gigantic failure of Israeli intelligence. It will directly relate to the personal political responsibility of Benjamin Netanyahu, a Prime Minister who has sought for three years to point out the faults of others and who now finds himself confronted with a much more explosive question: had he been warned of the danger before October 7, and why was this alert not followed up on?
