Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has asked the UAE President to deny media reports related to a prior warning of the Hamas surprise attack. Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz reported last October that the UAE President warned Prime Minister Netanyahu about the attack threat just before Hamas's surprise attack, but the Israeli government strongly denied it at the time. Netanyahu recently visited the UAE secretly and requested an official denial regarding this incident. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not mention the content of the meeting but stated that Israel and the UAE continue to share information.
