An Israeli man has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in an Iranian-backed assassination plot to kill Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Named by Israeli media as Moti Maman, a 72-year-old businessman, the alleged plotter is suspected to have attended at least two meetings in Iran to discuss the possibility of assassinating prominent Israeli officials including Mr Netanyahu.
Maman was allegedly smuggled into Iran from eastern Turkey, where he met the businessman and others, including a man identified as an Iranian security official, the statement said. It was proposed that he carry out tasks for Iran including transferring money or a gun, photographing crowdedplaces or threatening other Israeli civilians operating on behalf of Iran who did not carry out missions they had been requested to.
