ItalyThe Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet has confirmed that Iran sought to assassinate Yair Netanyahu, the son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who resides in Miami. According to the report, the threat was significant enough to warrant an urgent operation to bring Yair back to Israel. The intelligence service stated that there was a 'significant threat' to Yair’s safety, prompting his return to Israel. Yair, 35, lives in a luxurious apartment in Miami with security paid for by the state, and has been a frequent critic of Israel’s military decisions, despite not serving in the army due to his prolonged stay abroad. His father, Benjamin Netanyahu, recently mentioned the Iranian plot during an interview, and US outlet Newsmax identified Yair as the target. Intelligence sources suggest Iranian agents were monitoring Yair in Miami, leading to the emergency operation involving Shin Bet agents stationed in the U.S. with President Isaac Herzog. Yair’s return to Israel coincides with his potential involvement in the upcoming October 27 election campaign, which could influence the political fate of his father.
