Netanyahu denies ever having met Egypt's foreign intelligence chief despite contradictory records
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed in an interview with Channel 14's The Patriots on Tuesday that he had never met with a foreign intelligence chief in his capacity as prime minister, despite official records showing that he hosted Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel at his Jerusalem residence in May 2021 and discussed security and diplomatic matters with him.
"When does an intelligence chief come and speak to a head of state? It hasn't happened to me once, OK? There's no such thing,
The remarks came after the prime minister confirmed that an Egyptian aircraft had landed in Israel in September 2023, just days before the October 7 Hamas attack.
Netanyahu denied meeting with the Egyptian intelligence chief on that occasion, saying he had been attending a memorial ceremony for fallen IDF soldiers at the time.
