Guancha, the Chinese news portal, reposted a report by Israel's Haaretz saying that before the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, UAE President Mohamed called Netanyahu for 45 minutes to warn him of the planned attack, but Netanyahu took no action. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office denied the report, saying there was no call with Mohamed during the relevant period, and the then head of Shin Bet and the former Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces also said they received no warning.
