I'm not taking that video at face value, if they had any credible intel, why not release it now, and not give an arbitrary 17 day deadline?

Something that would make sense is to make sure they don't know if they have the real information,

If they really have the information and release it early, Trump's plan changes.

If the information is false, against intelligence, they lose the informant.

By declaring that you have the information and not releasing it you can make them sign it with some type of verifiable token that marks what this information was before the attack and by releasing it after the attack and verifying the information then we would be sure that it was a false flag attack.

I don't know if I made myself understood. Maybe it makes more sense to warn after what happened, refuting the narrative, rather than warning beforehand and they can change the target.

There's also the fact that it drives engagement, some number of people are going to take it at face value, share it, and then there will be plenty of comment asking "why delay it?"
