Man with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
A 73-year-old Israeli businessman was arrested last month for allegedly being recruited by Iran to ass@ssinate Netanyahu, Gallant, or the head of the Shin Bet.
He met with Iranian intelligence officials, who asked him to "advance assassinati0n attacks" while also considering the possibility of assassinating other senior officials.
The attacks were being planned as retaliation for Israel's assassinati0n of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
His lawyer claimed he "made an error in judgment in the context of his business."
