Laporan Haaretz menyebut Pangeran MBZ telah memperingatkan Netanyahu secara pribadi pada akhir September 2023 soal rencana serangan besar Hamas, namun Netanyahu tidak menyampaikan informasi tersebut kepada petinggi keamanan Israel dan tidak mengambil tindakan. Informasi MBZ disebut berasal dari Yahya Sinwar yang frustrasi atas macetnya negosiasi pertukaran tahanan dengan Israel. Laporan tersebut didasarkan pada buku 'Kidnapped: 843 Days of Abandonment' karya Shlomi Eldar dan Ruth Yuval.
