An Egyptian intelligence official has said that Israel ignored warnings that “something big” was coming amid questions about how the Hamas attack that was launched Saturday took the Israeli government by surprise, considering Gaza is under constant Israeli surveillance.
“We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” the Egyptian official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AP.
The official said that Israeli officials played down the threats from Gaza and focused on the West Bank, where Israel has conducted major raids since the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came into power in December. Netanyahu’s coalition includes settlers who are working to expand settlements in the West Bank with the ultimate goal of annexing the territory.
According to The Times of Israel, Ynet reported that Egypt’s Intelligence Minister General Abbas Kamel called Netanyahu just 10 days before the Hamas attack, warning that militants in Gaza were planning “something unusual, a terrible operation.”
For their part, Netanyahu’s office dismissed the reports as fake news. “No early message came from Egypt and the prime minister did not speak or meet with the intelligence chief since the establishment of the government — not indirectly or directly. This is completely fake news,” his office said.
Well that is interesting for the eventual inquiry
And that warning was not passed on to our government.
The Egyptians are traitors to Islam.
So as Jordanians…!
The only reason Satanyahu dismissed the Egyptian warning was Pride…! Thinking Mossad is the most capable intelligence gathering agency in the world…!
Fake news is anything that contradicts the states official word on any subject today.
“Egypt Says Israel Ignored Warning”
“Netanyahu’s office says the claim is ‘fake news'”
well either the very best intelligence agents on the planet ignored it or else the very best intelligence agents on the planet are dimwits. maybe uncle sam should decide which is the case.
If confirmed that Egypt’s Intelligence Minister General Abbas Kamel called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, just 10 days before the Hamas attack, warning that militants in Gaza were planning “something unusual, a terrible operation”, this would place the Netanyahu government in a very bad light.
If the Israeli army invades the Gaza Strip in the coming days or weeks, this would mean that there were a plan to annex it, at the cost of hundreds of Israeli lives.
I posted that yesterday. Second time I scooped antiwar.com. Obviously this was manufactured to inflict death and suffering on Israeli’s for an excuse to move into Gaza for a final solution to the Palestinian question. There’s no way Tel Aviv and Wash. didn’t know what was coming.
