The threatening letter with a bullet inside sent today to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s son Yoni warned that if the premier doesn’t resign, his family will be harmed, Channel 12 reports.
The letter was the second in less than a week. Today’s letter threatened to harm Yoni and Bennett’s wife Gilat if the prime minister does not quit, while the letter sent on Tuesday threatened to harm Yoni.
Channel 12 reports that the letters were likely sent by the same suspect or suspects, while Kan reports that the second letter was sent by a copycat.
Channel 12 says the letters had similar phrasing and the same type of bullet inside.
Today’s letter was intercepted at the post office and did not reach the Bennett home in Ra’anana, the network says, adding that there are not yet any major leads in the case.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
