Netanyahu; Iranian-Backed Assassination Plot by Israeli Foiled-1 Arrest
Hitman Sent to Kill Netanyahu by Iran Named as Israeli Pensioner
A 73-year-old pensioner has been unmasked as the Israeli citizen arrested on suspicion of plotting to kill Benjamin Netanyahu in a plan devised by Iran.
Telegraph BBC 19 SEP 2024
Israeli security services said they arrested Moti Maman in August after he attended two meetings in Iran asked him to assassinate the Israeli prime minister.
Yoav Gallant, the defence minister, and Ronen Bar, head of the Shin Bet intelligence agency, were also discussed as targets.
The Israeli citizen entered Iran...smuggled through the border hidden inside a truck cabin, an IDF statement read. He met with additional Iranian intelligence agents and was asked by them to carry out activities for Iran on Israeli soil, including promoting assassination attacks.?
Mr Maman, who was smuggled into Iran in the back of a truck, allegedly demanded an advance payment of one million dollars before performing any action, the statement added.
He was also allegedly given ?5,000 for attending the meetings.
Eyal Besserglick, Mr Mammans lawyer, said his client made an error of judgement and is cooperating with Israels intelligence agencies.
