Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says he requested an emergency security update from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after the premier announced there are suspicions that “enemies” may attempt to attack Israel ahead of the October 27 election.
“I request to understand if the threats are real, and if so, how the prime minister is preparing this time to ensure the election will take place without disruptions,” Lapid writes on X.
