Netanyahu's Lawsuit: A Distraction from Accountability Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that he will sue Haaretz newspaper over a report claiming the UAE warned him of an impending Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
The announcement is the latest development in Israel's general election campaign and raises questions about the role of journalism in holding those in power accountable.
The Haaretz report cited three foreign senior sources and a Palestinian adviser to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, claiming that the UAE president warned Netanyahu of an "earthquake" planned by Hamas.
