Intelligence: Netanyahu's son fled the US because of threats

Israel's domestic intelligence agency has confirmed that Jair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had to return to Israel due to an acute threat he faced in the United States. The Shin Bet stated that there was a significant danger to Jair Netanyahu, prompting an urgent decision to bring him back to Israel along with his security team. While the agency did not comment on alleged Iranian plots against one of Netanyahu's sons, which were previously mentioned by Benjamin Netanyahu himself, U.S. media outlet Newsmax reported that Jair Netanyahu was reportedly targeted by an Iranian assassination plan at the end of last year.
