Israel's Netanyahu says Iran tried to kill one of his sons
Netanyahu said Iran tried to kill one of his sons as he backed full security for rival Gadi Eisenkot in the election race.
- On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed that Iran attempted to assassinate one of his sons during a live conversation with Channel 14.
- The remarks occurred during a discussion about Shin Bet declining security for Gadi Eisenkot, a former army chief running in October elections; Netanyahu backed providing Eisenkot protection, saying it was 'not a luxury.'
- Journalist Amit Segal reported on Telegram that the alleged attempt was known for 'months' but subject to a gag order, though it remains unclear whether Yair or Avner was targeted.
- In July, a Ministerial Committee approved extended personal protection for Netanyahu's family, with his sons set to receive security for five years after he leaves office.
- Security officials have assessed that the Netanyahu family faces high-level threats from Israel's enemies, while longstanding tensions between Israel and Iran include ongoing Iranian-linked plots targeting officials.
