Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again denied the Wall Street Journal report that he received a warning from Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel. In a post he wrote on X, he said he intends to file a libel lawsuit on the matter and accused former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar of 'crimes.' 'Prime Minister Netanyahu never meets or speaks with an intelligence chief of a foreign country without their Israeli counterparts.' According to him, 'On the night of October 7, Ronen Bar held numerous conversations with then-Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Military Intelligence chief Aharon Haliva, in which they discussed all the warning signs. Despite this, Ronen Bar decided not to call and update the Prime Minister, not to alert the standby units and IDF forces in the field, not to evacuate the Nova festival—and only to send a limited Tequila team (which proves he knew about a real danger).'
