Netanyahu to sue Haaretz over report that UAE warned him before Oct. 7
–
Neutral summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Wednesday that he has ordered his lawyers to file a defamation lawsuit against the Haaretz newspaper and journalist Shlomi Eldar over a report that he was warned by UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan about an imminent Hamas attack days before October 7, 2023, but did not pass the information to Israel's security chiefs. Netanyahu's office dismissed the report as “an absolute lie,” while opposition leaders called him unfit to serve, and a separate report said that in the phone call Netanyahu reassured the Emirati president that Israel was prepared for any scenario. The report, based on an investigation for a forthcoming book by Haaretz reporters, comes seven weeks before the October 27 election and has renewed focus on accountability for the security failures on the day of the attack.
