Netanyahu's office dismissed claims in The Atlantic that Israel received an Egyptian warning before the October 7, 2023 attack, calling the magazine's reporting "false." The denial comes as the U.S. publication revives questions about Israeli security failures preceding Hamas's assault, Shehab Wire reported.
The dispute centers on whether Egyptian authorities alerted Israeli officials to the impending operation. Netanyahu's office rejected the account without detailing what intelligence, if any, Israel possessed beforehand or how it responded to Egyptian communications in the weeks before the attack.
