Fact check
Is it true: Egypt warning to Israel before Oct 7 2023 (intelligence-share claims)?
Partly — it's more complicated than the claim suggests.
Egyptian officials publicly stated that Egypt warned Israel of a significant threat from Gaza before October 7 2023. Israeli Defence Minister Gallant's statements were consistent with receipt of some warning. Netanyahu's office denied receiving a specific actionable warning about the attack's scale. Whether the warning was specific and operationally actionable — and whether it was ignored — remains disputed between the governments and is not resolved by the Israeli State Comptroller's July 2024 report.
