Immediately following this striking claim, one of Israel's leading newspapers, Yedioth Ahronoth, shared a notable detail on the matter. The newspaper emphasized that the information about Iran's alleged attempt to assassinate Netanyahu's son had been banned from public disclosure for months, and that the Prime Minister personally breached this publication ban live on air.
ELECTION STRATEGY
Netanyahu's remarks were not limited to the assassination claim. The Prime Minister, who has been observed losing support in polls ahead of the upcoming elections, appealed to his voter base, urging them not to vote for small right-wing parties to avoid splitting the vote.
Additionally, Netanyahu addressed the Israeli army's recent attacks on Syria, arguing that these military operations were not carried out for political calculations or vote-seeking purposes ahead of the upcoming elections.
