Egypt warned Israel about an incoming attack from Hamas three days before the brutal weekend assault, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said on Wednesday.
McCaul's statements appear to contradict Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's repeated claims that he was not told of Hamas's plans before the attack, prompting further questions over who knew what and when. “We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” the official from Egypt, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press.
In addition to Israel, whose plight has captured international attention, the countries bordering the Jewish state have also ignited questions and debate. To Israel's south is Egypt, a country that has acted as a mediator between Israel and Hamas in the past. The North African and Middle Eastern nation has been wary of allowing any large-scale influx of Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip.
