Milan, 24 Aug. (LaPresse) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in a telephone interview with Channel 14 that Iran had attempted to assassinate one of his two sons. “Iran tried to kill one of my sons,” Netanyahu said, without specifying whether it was Yair or Avner – nor when or how the assassination attempt allegedly took place. “Therefore, the protection they enjoy is not a luxury,” he added. The Times of Israel notes that this appears to be a defence of an agreement reached with the Shin Bet to guarantee his sons, along with his wife Sara, security protection for at least five years, even should he lose the upcoming elections. Avner lives in Israel. Yair, the better-known of Netanyahu’s two sons, has spent much of the last few years in Miami and is known for his far-right statements.
