Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that political violence similar to the assassination attempt on Trump could happen in Israel.
Speaking to Channel 14, the second time he has given an interview to the right-wing outlet over the past month, Netanyahu says, “It can happen because there is incitement to violence and murder of elected officials, of ministers, of the prime minister, of his family.”
Netanyahu says that incitement has reached new levels “that we haven’t known before.” He says that the location of his family is shared publicly, which leads to threats from Hamas against them.
“No one is doing anything about it,” he says.
