️🇪🇬🇵🇸🇮🇱The Atlantic Ocean: Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel flew to Israel on September 26, 2023, and warned Israeli officials that Hamas appears to be mobilizing for a major escalation in Gaza.

Kamel urged Israel to make economic concessions to Gaza but did not provide a specific date, target or method for the attack that followed on October 7. According to reports, Egypt continued to raise concerns in the days that followed, including a flash message: on October 5.

Netanyahu's office denied receiving warnings from Kemal or Egypt, while former and current officials continue to dispute what information reached the prime minister and how the Israeli authorities interpreted the warnings before the attack.
