Benjamin Netanyahu: Iran Attempted to Assassinate One of My Sons

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed during a live broadcast on Channel 14 that Iran had attempted to assassinate one of his sons. When asked about the intelligence behind this, Netanyahu did not provide specific details but emphasized that security measures for his family are a necessity, stating that without them, adversaries would succeed in their plans. These remarks come as reports indicate this information had been under censorship restrictions for months. Previously, Sara Netanyahu, the Prime Minister's wife, had requested that security arrangements for herself and their sons, Yair and Avner, be made permanent and independent of future election results. Last July, the Iranian newspaper Al-Mashriq published a front page featuring Netanyahu and Donald Trump in prisoner uniforms, accompanied by threats against senior Israeli and American officials.
