The Prime Minister's Office on Tuesday dismissed an investigative report as an 'absolute lie,' denying that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed during the period in question or received any warning from him, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS).
The Prime Minister's Office on Tuesday denied a report that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed before the October 7 attack, calling it an 'absolute lie.' The office said no conversation took place and no warning was received.
The denial followed a Haaretz investigation, covered by The Zioneer earlier Tuesday, alleging that Netanyahu spoke with bin Zayed ten days before the October 7 massacre and concealed the warning. The PM's office has previously dismissed similar reports as fabrications, including a prior Haaretz article and a New York Times report.
