Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was personally and explicitly warned that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning a major attack roughly 10 days before the October 7 massacre, but dismissed the threat and did not alert his security chiefs, according to a shocking new Haaretz report.

The revelations come from research for an upcoming book Hostages: 843 Days of Abandonment, written by journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval, who writes for Haaretz.

    Why would the master share info with its dog? I doubt Netanyahu shared that with us beyond, “We expect a thing to happen.”

      That’s essentially what this report is saying the Egyptian intelligence chief told Netanyahu, isn’t it? Hamas is planning “something unusual, a terrifying operation.”
