Barak criticizes Netanyahu for ignoring UAE warning
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for ignoring warnings received about ten days before Hamas's attack on Gaza on October 7, 2023. He stated that regional officials, including UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, personally warned Netanyahu in phone calls about the possibility of Hamas, led by Jabsar, planning a major operation that could destabilize the region. Nevertheless, Netanyahu showed arrogance and condescension, ignoring these warnings and failing to inform senior security officials, which delayed defensive measures. Barak emphasized that neglecting these warnings is largely responsible for the attack and its consequences, noting that the results of this neglect are clearly evident after the incident. He pointed out that this reflects a serious disregard that could reach the level of criminal negligence.
