The UAE is distancing itself from a reported call between President Mohammed bin Zayed and PM Netanyahu that allegedly included a warning ahead of October 7.

A UAE official to Kan: "Beyond yesterday's statement, we have nothing to add."

Egypt won't respond officially but believes Israel could have detected the attack without any Emirati or Egyptian warning.

Egyptian writer Sharif al-Asfouri has published his book "The Flood of Fools" in Egypt, centered on sharp criticism of Hamas' October 7 massacre -- which the group calls the "Al-Aqsa Flood."

In a rare interview from Cairo with the Israeli program -- InOurNeighborhood, he said: "The October 7, 2023 attack produced negative results for the Palestinian people, and I believe deep problems will not be solved through violence and war."

He said the title shocked the public and political elite, that he struggled to get official approval, and was forced to delete maps from the book. He recently resigned from Egypt's Writers Association.

BREAKING 🔴

U.S. President Donald Trump:

"Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY.

This agreement is a critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people. At the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks.

This is a major milestone in the implementation of the Trump 20-Point Plan. The agreement will be carried out in carefully structured phases. As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors.

One year ago there was a violent raging war, humanitarian crisis and hostages kept in brutal captivity. We have made historic progress and there is still much work to do.

I want to thank the mediators—Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye—for their important efforts, and especially my outstanding team, whose tireless work made this historic breakthrough possible.

The threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will NOT be allowed to rebuild!

Under this agreement, Gaza will finally be in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its PEOPLE.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL ON THIS AMAZING DEVELOPMENT, THAT EVERYBODY SAID COULD NEVER BE ACHIEVED!"
