Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a bombshell claim that Iran tried to assassinate one of his sons. Speaking to Israeli television, Netanyahu said Iran had targeted one of his sons and attempted to kill him. However, he did not reveal which son was allegedly targeted, when the attempt took place or how the alleged plot was carried out. Netanyahu has two sons, Yair and Avner, and both have been subject to heightened security arrangements. In July, Israel's Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs approved extended personal protection for Netanyahu's wife Sara and their two sons.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has landed in Washington for a crucial meeting with President Donald Trump. But as both leaders meet face-to-face, reports highlight clear tactical differences between Washington and Jerusalem—especially when it comes to dealing with Iran. At the top of the agenda is the ongoing situation with Iran and wider regional stability. While both leaders maintain that their overarching goals remain closely aligned, President Trump recently acknowledged subtle differences in their approach, remarking to reporters that they have 'a little difference, but pretty close.' While President Trump has signaled that Washington is keeping the door open for diplomatic resolution—giving room for peace talks while warning that military options remain on the table—PM Netanyahu arrives in Washington emphasizing a firm stance on Tehran's regional activities and security threats."
