Egypt spy chief warned Netanyahu of Gaza assault, was ignored — report; PM denies it
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAbbas Kamel, the powerful head of Egyptian intelligence, warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 10 days before the attack, Ynet reports.
Kamel warned Israel that “something unusual, a terrible operation” was about to take place around Gaza.
Kamel was reportedly aghast at Netanyahu’s passivity upon hearing the report.
Egyptian sources tell Ynet that Netanyahu responded that IDF forces were focused on fighting terror in the West Bank, where deadly terror attacks against Israel were being carried out.
Netanyahu’s office calls the Ynet report “a lie.”
