🔯 Mossad says it was ‘unaware’ of Egyptian, Fatah, UAE intel warnings ahead of October 7 The former head of the spy agency’s international diplomacy department says he had no recollection of “any reports regarding a warning” from the UAE’s president or Fatah officials, nor “a visit by [Egyptian intelligence chief] Abbas Kamel” before Hamas’s October 2023 incursion into southern Israel. Eyal Tsir Cohen said Kamel may have “secretly” travelled to Israel without engaging with his department, but added that they’ve met repeatedly after October 7. Cohen’s comments were a response to WSJ reporting that Egypt sent Israel three separate warnings that Gaza was a powder keg ready to ignite, including a personal call by Kamel to Netanyahu days before the attack. In an in-person trip to Israel in September, Kamel warned officials the “dire” situation could “blow up in everyone’s faces.” Besides the Egyptians, Israel got warnings from the Emiratis, and even Fatah official Sufian Abu Zaida. In indirect talks in September, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar personally warned of an impending “earthquake” after negotiations on economic concessions for Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel broke down. Netanyahu insists he’s received no warnings, and blamed internal security. He has also refused to set up a commission of inquiry. ➡️ Investigators have alleged that Netanyahu purposely allowed October 7 to happen to destroy Gaza and stave off corruption charges hounding him. Israel has also been credibly accused with cultivating and enabling Hamas’s rise as a counterweight to the secular PLO and Fatah. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
