Israel Elections का पूरा गणित, Benjamin Netanyahu पर बड़ा संकट | Kautuk

Did Benjamin Netanyahu receive advance warnings about the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack — and did he fail to act on them? A reported 45-minute phone call between UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ) and the Israeli Prime Minister has brought fresh scrutiny to the warnings, secret backchannel negotiations and political calculations that preceded the attack. In this episode of Kautuk, Indian Express Hindi examines a controversial report by Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which alleged that Netanyahu received a warning about a possible Hamas attack days before October 7 but did not share the information with key security officials. Netanyahu rejected the reporting and threatened legal action. The Times of Israel also reported on claims supporting aspects of the account. The story takes us back to 2023, when Netanyahu's government faced mass protests over judicial reforms, growing political instability and secret negotiations with Hamas over a possible long-term ceasefire, the release of Israeli hostages and the return of deceased Israeli soldiers. At the centre of these backchannel talks was a Palestinian intermediary, Dr Sufian Abu Zaida, who later publicly identified himself as “Coal Eyes”. According to the reporting, he relayed warnings from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar through UAE channels. The alleged warnings eventually reached Israel's domestic intelligence agency, Shin Bet, and Netanyahu. This episode also examines the broader political stakes ahead of Israel's October 27, 2026 election. In this video, we explore: The alleged 45-minute phone call between MBZ and Netanyahu.
