UAE dodges question on pre-October 7 warning to Netanyahu The UAE addressed questions from The National, an Abu Dhabi-based newspaper, about whether it had alerted Netanyahu to a potential Hamas attack ahead of October 7, according to a Haaretz report. In its response, the UAE said security matters are handled through "relevant entities" in discussions with other countries, stopping short of directly addressing the claim.

Their 45-minute conversation reportedly included a clear warning that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was preparing a large-scale operation targeting Israel. The National is owned by International Media Investments, a media group under the control of bin Zayed's brother.

Hamas says it’s in contact with mediators over escalated Israeli killings in Gaza Hamas’ political bureau chief, Khalil al-Hayya, has been in close contact with mediators over the recent escalation in Israeli killings in Gaza, along with attacks in the occupied West Bank and at Al-Aqsa Mosque, the group said, according to Al Jazeera. In a statement, it said the killings are damaging chances for calm and show Israel failing to uphold its commitments under Trump's plan, due to restrictions on aid and reconstruction. Hamas also said al-Hayya wrote to several countries, warning that humanitarian conditions in Gaza could worsen as winter approaches, adding that Israel is blocking the entry of heavy machinery needed to clear rubble and secure damaged buildings, as well as tents and supplies meant to protect people from cold and rain. The group is urging mediators to push Israel to meet its obligations under the first phase of the ceasefire deal, mainly by stopping the killings and letting rescue and shelter equipment into Gaza without restriction.
