Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a political backlash over a report that he was warned of a major Hamas operation. The warning allegedly came from the president of the UAE, days before the October 7, 2023 attack. Netanyahu's office has denied the report, calling it an "absolute lie."

Opposition party leaders have called for an investigation into Netanyahu's handling of the situation. They issued a joint statement seeking answers about what Netanyahu knew and when.

Further details about the report and the backlash against Netanyahu are available from the source.
