Benjamin Netanyahu is the leader of Israel. He gets a warning before a big attack. The newspaper Haaretz reports this. Mohammad bin Zayed calls him on the phone. This is 10 days before the attack. The call lasts 45 minutes. Bin Zayed is the leader of the United Arab Emirates.
Bin Zayed says: Hamas plans a big attack. Netanyahu does not take the warning seriously. He says: Everything is fine. He does not tell the army about it. The secret services know nothing. Egypt also gives a warning. The head of the secret service in Egypt talks about a big plan.
The office of Netanyahu denies the call. They say: This is a lie. Israel has an election soon. The opposition criticizes the leader. They say he makes big mistakes. Many people die in the attack on 7 October. Many people are taken as hostages.
