ALBAWABA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he, his family, and a number of other ministries and public figures have received specific threats of assassination. He has expressed dissatisfaction with the absence of significant measures implemented in response.

Netanyahu emphasized the persistent threats in a written statement from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office about his statements at the weekly cabinet meeting. "We are witnessing clear threats of murder and violence against the Prime Minister, his family, ministers, and public officials," he said. He added that "with a few small exceptions, nothing significant has been done, and this falls under the Attorney General’s responsibilities."

Netanyahu brought up the recent attempt on the life of former US President Donald Trump, pointing out that several people had seen "warning signs" before the attempt. Netanyahu said, "We also see the warning signs."
