UAE Confirms Communication with Israel
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that UAE and Israeli government entities maintained open and direct communication channels for over five years since establishing relations. They also consistently exchanged intelligence information. This was in response to reports suggesting that the UAE had warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prior to the October 7 attack. The UAE stated that their engagement aimed to reduce escalation, promote regional stability, and prevent violence. Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s office denied receiving any warnings from the UAE regarding Hamas's attack, noting that intelligence channels might have exchanged messages. A report by Haaretz indicated that the UAE informed Netanyahu about Hamas’s plans to carry out large-scale operations approximately ten days before the attack, warning that such actions could destabilize the region and threaten normalization agreements. However, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel was prepared for any attack and believes that any potential strikes would likely originate from the West Bank.
