Israel’s internal security agency says it has arrested five Palestinians in a plot allegedly hatched in Iran to target and spy on senior Israeli politicians, including the country’s far-right national security minister.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the allegations., has provoked outrage across the wider Middle East for his particularly hard-line policies against the Palestinians, anti-Arab rhetoric and stunts and frequent public visits to the holiest and most contested site in the Holy Land.
The Shin Bet did not elaborate on the identity of the Iranian official in Jordan who allegedly orchestrated the plot. He is not in custody and apparently remains at large. Ben-Gvir claimed that the Palestinian suspects had conspired to “assassinate a minister in Israel,” without clarifying whether he meant himself or another minister. He thanked Israeli security forces for uncovering and capturing what he called the “terrorist squad.”
