Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says a report that Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel warned him about an “unusual, terrible operation” 10 days before Hamas’s attack on Israel is “total fake news.”
In a statement, the Prime Minister’s Office says the premier “has not spoken with or met with [Kamel] since the formation of the government — not by backchannels nor directly.”
“This is total fake news.”
