Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of attempting to assassinate one of his sons on Monday.
Netanyahu made the accusation during an interview with the Israel’s Channel 14J, saying he has asked Israeli law enforcement to boost protection measures for any prime ministerial candidate.
„This is an unbelievable case. Iran targeted one of my sons. Iran tried to murder him, tried to murder one of my sons,“ Netanyahu told the station, as reported by the Jerusalem Post.

„Is this part of the intelligence provided to you?“ a Channel 14 reporter asked.
„Iran tried to murder one of my sons. And this is why this promise [I am making] is more than a luxury – without it, they could succeed [in killing my son.] People need to show some restraint, especially during an election campaign,“ Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu did not clarify which of his two sons was the target of the plot.
The Israeli security agency Shin Bet granted extended protection services to Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, and their sons, Yair and Avner, beginning in July.
