🇪🇬🇮🇱🇵🇸 Al-Arabi: An Egyptian source says that Cairo warned Israel before October 7 that the deterioration of economic and humanitarian conditions in Gaza could trigger a major security escalation, but he had no prior knowledge of the Hamas attack itself.

Egypt's warnings did not specify a date, scope or nature of an attack, and Cairo did not have a complete picture of Hamas' plans for October 7, 2023.

Instead, Egypt asked for measures to reduce tensions in Gaza, including the easing of restrictions and ease of access for Palestinian workers to Israel.
