A top US legislator gave further credence Wednesday to assertions that Cairo had warned Israel of looming major violence by Hamas, three days before Gaza’s ruling terror group caught Israeli forces off-guard and massacred over 1,200 Israelis.

Republican Michael McCaul, chairman of the powerful US House Foreign Affairs Committee, said: “We know that Egypt… warned the Israelis three days prior that an event like this could happen.”

Speaking to reporters following a closed-door intelligence briefing for lawmakers on the crisis, he added: “I don’t want to get too much into classified [details], but a warning was given.

A warning of what, where, for when, given to whom?

This lady was a former IDF security apparatus for Gaza and she doesn’t buy the official story either.

If Israel is relying on anyone outside of Israel to keep them in the loop on bad news items such as the events of this past weekend, well, I’m at a loss for words.

Unfortunately, I live in McCaul’s district. Here are just a few of his non conservative positions:

1. Doesn’t like Tommy Tuberville not playing ball with Senate RINO’s on the “without objection” issue that holds up approval of Pentagon Generals and others.
2. Was against removing McCarthy.
3. Loves giving billions to Ukraine
4. Scared to use the US Miltary against drug cartels.

I don’t like the guy and will not vote for him.

Major guilty parties are the Israelis who were remotely (they might be in Tel Aviv for all I know) monitoring the Gaza border fence. Which has TV cameras focused on it. And I am sure has sensors embedded in the fence and the ground.

These surveillance TV cameras were knocked out by Hamas drones. So this meant that screens suddenly went black. No one noticed this?? I don’t get it.

a 6 hour response time is not acceptable.....and there is no explanation from their government of media. They let them die so they had reason to invade acceptable to the world.

Like the 2,200 other warnings and death threats the Israelis get everyday. McCaul sounds like he is out of his league. Just my personal feeling.

“We know that Egypt… warned the Israelis three days prior that an event like this could happen.”

“could happen” Tells Israel didly squat. That is so unspecific intelligence that it is not actionable intelligence.

what is really important here is to blame Ben Netanyehu’s government which the deep state wants to depose.

This is an intelligence agency story. It can’t be confirmed. And even if it is true. You don’t know if the information was common place or extraordinary. In other words. Was it something that was said every day and became true like a stopped clock. Or was it real and out of the ordinary. It seems out of place that the current administrations wouldn’t jump at the chance to attack or to thwart an attack. So I am not buying it.

All things considered, I wouldn’t give Michael McCaul the time off day on anything.
