PMO said to fume after Likud MK claims Iran attack could take place this weekend
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 13 reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office is fuming after Likud backbencher Moshe Saada suggested that a major attack on Iran could well take place this weekend.
“Everyone knows that we’re on the verge of an attack in Iran — perhaps even this weekend. Those are the estimates,” Saada told Channel 14 earlier today.
Saada later clarifies that he was referring to a US attack on Iran — not an Israeli one. It’s unclear whether the backbencher is privy to such intelligence though.
