Lapid Acknowledges 'Unusual Threat' After Security Briefing by Netanyahu
Opposition leader Yair Lapid concluded a security briefing with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, following an unusual statement by Netanyahu earlier in the day. Netanyahu had indicated that Israel's enemies might be planning attacks before the upcoming elections.
Lapid, who is running in the elections alongside Naftali Bennett, did not deny the existence of a significant threat. The details of the briefing and the nature of the potential threat were not disclosed, but the Prime Minister's statement itself was considered highly irregular.
Netanyahu's office had released a statement earlier Sunday, stating there were indications that "our enemies are planning to attack us before the elections." This statement caused concern and speculation regarding the specific nature of the threat and its timing, especially given its proximity to the election date.
