Overview

  • On July 24, the state prosecutor charged the Tel Aviv resident with conspiracy to commit a terrorist act, accusing her of plotting to kill Benjamin Netanyahou.
  • Prosecutors told the court they consider her dangerous and have asked for her to be confined under house arrest pending trial.
  • She was arrested days earlier after a confidant informed an attorney, who subsequently alerted the Shin Bet and Lahav 433 units.
  • Reports that she intended to use an explosive device remain under verification, and her lawyer Giora Zylberstein insists she never aimed to murder the prime minister.
  • This case is the latest in a series of alleged assassination plots against Netanyahou, reflecting ongoing security concerns in a polarized political climate and fears of foreign interference.
