Netanyahu faces dilemma over Emirati warning
Press reports from Israel and the United Arab Emirates have indicated that there are secret and stable communication channels between Israel and the UAE. Additionally, the UAE informed Israel before the October 7, 2026 attack about warnings regarding the potential for significant escalation in Gaza, especially from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Although Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied receiving any direct warnings from the UAE, an investigation published by "Haaretz" confirmed that UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed warned Netanyahu during a phone call in late September 2023 about serious risks that could lead to bloody escalation. However, Netanyahu responded calmly to the warning and did not pass it on to Israeli security agencies. The UAE has shown concern for regional stability and avoiding escalation, amid conflicting statements regarding the authenticity of the call. This points to the existence of open intelligence channels and their influence on Israeli decisions ahead of the attack.
