New Leak Reveals Netanyahu Fears Assassination in the Knesset

Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- In a newly leaked recording, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly expressed concern over a potential drone attack targeting him within the Knesset. According to Israel’s official broadcasting authority, the closed-door conversation revealed Netanyahu questioning the security measures in place and voicing fears about being tracked by drones.

In the recording, Netanyahu reportedly asked, “Where will we go if a drone reaches the Knesset now? … Why are we not meeting elsewhere?” He went on to add, “If a drill were to breach here now, where would we go? I’m particularly afraid of drones. We have good systems to detect and intercept missiles. I don’t understand why the Knesset continues to meet in its usual location and not somewhere safer.”

This concern follows a recent escalation in security measures around Israeli officials. Just last week, Israel’s Army Radio, citing an internal source from the Israeli security agency Shin Bet, confirmed that protective measures have been strengthened for high-ranking officials after an attack targeted Netanyahu’s private residence.

On October 19, Israeli authorities acknowledged that a Hezbollah-launched drone had struck Netanyahu’s residence in Caesarea, hitting his bedroom window directly. Hezbollah has since claimed full responsibility for the attack. The group’s media relations official, Mohammad Afif, declared, “If we didn’t reach you last time, remember that the days and nights, and the battlefield, are still open between us.”

Recent reports also indicate that Shin Bet has significantly increased spending on protecting Netanyahu’s family, including his wife Sara and sons Avner and Yair, in light of heightened security concerns surrounding his position and personal safety. Netanyahu’s Office had requested NIS 2 million ($530,000) from the occupation state treasury to undertake security upgrades at Benjamin Netanyahu’s private Caesarea residence.
