Netanyahu Alleges Iran Tried to Assassinate One of His Sons Amid Security Concerns
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Iran attempted to assassinate one of his sons, without specifying which son or providing details about the incident. He made the statement during a Channel 14 interview amid discussions on security arrangements for political figures ahead of Israel's October 27 elections. Netanyahu emphasized the need for continuous protection for his family and political rivals, linking the alleged attempt to broader security concerns involving Iran. The claim had reportedly been subject to a gag order for months prior to its public disclosure.
