Book claims Netanyahu ignored UAE warning before Oct 7; PM denies

A new book by Haaretz reporters alleges UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed personally warned Netanyahu of a planned Hamas offensive a week before the Oct 7, 2023 attack, and that Netanyahu did not act. Netanyahu calls the claim an 'absolute lie'; opposition leaders cite it to label him unfit. The allegation, if corroborated, would intensify domestic political pressure on Netanyahu during an election campaign, but remains an unverified claim from a book.
