Jerusalem Post says a UAE official "denies" warning Netanyahu; Haaretz says the same official "did not outright deny" it

One unnamed Emirati official, one Abu Dhabi newspaper, three readings in a single day — a denial, something short of a denial, and a denial Israel is said to have pressed for.

UAE official reportedly comments on Haaretz Oct. 7 expose: Such matters aren't discussed by state leaders

Levant & Iran United Arab Emirates Israel

The claim. Haaretz reported earlier this month that Mohammed bin Zayed warned Benjamin Netanyahu of a Hamas attack before 7 October 2023.

The answer. An unnamed Emirati official responded through The National, Abu Dhabi's English-language newspaper. All three reports we hold reach that statement through that one outlet. None of them names the official.

Outlet What it says the statement was
The Jerusalem Post A denial — The National "described the statement as rejecting recent claims that a direct warning had been conveyed to Netanyahu"
Haaretz Short of one — the official "did not outright deny" the report, and said such matters aren't discussed by state leaders
Al-Modon A denial Israel pressed for, on the word of "a Hebrew report" it does not name

Who owns the paper. The Jerusalem Post calls The National state-owned. Haaretz says it is "owned by the president's brother". The two do not contradict each other.

Not settled. Whether any warning was passed: no report we hold establishes it either way. Whether the statement was a denial: one statement, two opposite readings, published three hours apart. Whether Israel pressed for it: one report says so, sourcing it to a report it does not name. And no report we hold carries a response from Netanyahu's office, or a word from any Emirati official speaking under their own name.

What this is about. Whether the president of the United Arab Emirates privately told Israel's prime minister that a Hamas attack was coming — and whether Abu Dhabi has now denied it.

How it got here. On 7 October 2023 Hamas led an attack on southern Israel, and the war in Gaza followed. What Israel's government knew or was told beforehand has been fought over inside Israel ever since; it is the central domestic question about that morning. Three years earlier, in September 2020, the UAE became the first Gulf state to establish formal relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords. Mohammed bin Zayed, then crown prince of Abu Dhabi, drove that decision; he became the UAE's president in May 2022. Those relations have held through the war. Earlier this month Haaretz reported that he had warned Netanyahu in advance. Today an Emirati official answered — through one newspaper, without a name.

Who is in it. Mohammed bin Zayed, as the man said to have passed the warning. Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, as the man said to have received it. The National, which carried the response: The Jerusalem Post describes it as Abu Dhabi's state-owned English-language paper, and Haaretz says it is owned by the president's brother — which is why both reports tell readers who owns it before quoting it. Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post are Israeli; Al-Modon is Lebanese.

What is at stake. If a warning was passed, it becomes part of the Israeli argument over what was known before 7 October. If none was, a significant report is wrong. For Abu Dhabi, both readings cost something: confirming places it inside Israel's intelligence picture, and denying invites the charge that it was leaned on.

Where it stands. One statement, no named source, no Israeli government reply in anything we hold.

What is being argued about

  • Whether Mohammed bin Zayed warned Netanyahu of a coming attack before 7 October 2023
  • Whether the Emirati official's statement was a denial at all
  • Whether Israel pressed Abu Dhabi to issue it
  • Who owns the newspaper that carried the statement

The bias in this coverageBias

One anonymous source, three readings

All three reports rest on the same unnamed Emirati official quoted by one Abu Dhabi paper. One calls it a denial, one says it stopped short of denying, and one makes Israeli pressure the story. No report we hold quotes an Emirati official by name or carries a reply from Israel.

1 reports treating the statement as a denial 1 reports saying it stopped short of denying 1 reports making Israeli pressure the lead 0 reports naming the official who spoke
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.

Claims and verdicts

disputed Mohammed bin Zayed warned Netanyahu of a large-scale Hamas attack before 7 October 2023.
The claim originates in a Haaretz report from earlier this month; the Jerusalem Post says a UAE official has denied it and Haaretz says the same official, quoted by The National, did not outright deny it. We hold no report that independently establishes whether the warning was passed.

disputed The UAE official's statement to The National was a denial that a direct warning was conveyed to Netanyahu.
The Jerusalem Post describes the statement as rejecting the claim of a direct warning; Haaretz reads the same statement — that such matters are not discussed by state leaders — as falling short of a denial. Both are reading one statement carried by one Emirati outlet, which Haaretz notes is owned by the president's brother.

unverified Israel pressed the UAE to issue the denial.
Only Al-Modon carries this, and it attributes it to an unnamed Hebrew-language report rather than to its own reporting. Neither the Jerusalem Post nor Haaretz mentions any Israeli pressure.

An official source in the United Arab Emirates rejected claims on Saturday evening that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) had spoken with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and warned him of a possible Hamas attack in the weeks leading up to October 7, 2023.“The UAE discusses security matters with other countries through the relevant bodies, and does not discuss details of this kind at the level of the leaders of the countries,” the official said in response to an inquiry from Abu Dhabi's state-owned English-language newspaper, The National.The outlet described the statement as r
