Politico: US intelligence community was not aware of Hamas’ plan to attack Israel, Kirby confirms  

His comments come after the New York Times reported that Israeli officials obtained the plans more than a year before the Oct. 7 attack occurred. 

The U.S. intelligence community was not aware of Hamas’ plan to attack Israel, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Sunday, after the New York Times reported last week that Israeli officials obtained the plans more than a year before the Oct. 7 attack occurred.

“The intelligence community has indicated that they did not have access to this document,” Kirby told NBC’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press.” POLITICO reported Friday that there was no indication Israel had shared the blueprint for the attack with the United States.
