Reid Hoffman casts doubt on Kamala Harris’ 2028 prospects @ POLITICO’s Decoded summit this morning.
He also didn’t shut the door on backing AOC(!) “I think she is much more pragmatic than people give her credit for,” he said.

This morning's Haaretz bombshell article claims Netanyahu received a direct, explicit warning from UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed (MBZ) about 10 days before October 7, and never passed it on to Israel's security chiefs. The warning was that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was preparing a major operation against Israel.
The warning reportedly stemmed from a secret backchannel, through which Israel and Hamas had been quietly negotiating a temporary truce and prisoner/hostage-body exchange throughout 2023, with Netanyahu's knowledge but repeated delays on his part. As talks stalled and Sinwar "vanished" in early September, he later used the same channel to warn twice that Hamas was preparing a "zilzal" (earthquake). This warning reached Israel's Shin Bet on September 15, triggering security meetings on September 17 and October 1, but no decisive action was taken.
The article also reports on early, reportedly serious offers from Hamas (via the network of Mohammed Dahlan) to release all civilian hostages unconditionally in the days right after Oct 7, and a parallel Qatari mediation offer to the head of Mossad) both of which Israeli officials reportedly rebuffed or failed to take seriously), as the political and military leadership turned its focus on on destroying Hamas rather than negotiating with it.
Israel elections are scheduled for Oct 27th.
Nos OPONEMOS a la megatorre de 22 niveles en #Galileo8 y así se lo hicimos saber mediante oficio al diputado @vhlobo desde JUNIO. No es un capricho: las condiciones del suelo y los riesgos señalados para la zona hacen irresponsable impulsar una construcción de esta magnitud. La seguridad de los vecinos debe estar por encima de cualquier interés inmobiliario.
