JERUSALEM, July 23 (Reuters) - An anti-government activist in her 70s has been placed under investigation on suspicion of plotting to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, police said on Wednesday.
The suspect is accused of having expressed her intent to kill Netanyahu and sought assistance from other activists to obtain weapons and gather information about the prime minister’s security arrangements, police said.
The National Unit for Serious and International Crime Investigations and the Shin Bet internal security agency have passed their evidence on to the State Attorney’s office pending possible formal charges. Israeli newspaper Haaretz, quoting sources familiar with the case, said the woman had recently fallen ill and told people she planned to “take Netanyahu with her”.
Several people who heard her remarks contacted police, prompting the opening of the investigation. She was arrested around six weeks ago and has been released to house arrest.
Haaretz said the woman, who comes from Tel Aviv and was not identified, was suspected of wanting to target Netanyahu with an explosive device or rocket-propelled grenade.
In 1995 the then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was killed by a right-wing extremist opposed to his peace efforts with the Palestinians. In 1957, Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, narrowly escaped a grenade attack.
Damn, so there are a couple good eggs in that ethnostate
Hope we get more attempts not only Satanyahu but on Smotrich and Gvir by those good eggs.
What would it matter? Someone else in the “Israeli” government would just take over.
If this was years ago, then it will just be as you said: someone else will just take over.
However, right now, the entity is highly destabilized socially, politically and economically from what I have investigated so far and from what comrades have shared like this post(even though we need an update): https://criticalresist.substack.com/p/just-how-dire-is-israels-situation
That’s why I speculate that any damage to the leadership will throw the entity off balance to the point of collapse.
Yeah, you’re probably right… I just get the feeling that an assassination attempt on Netanyahu wouldn’t do much more than galvanise Zionazis.
I wonder over the past 77 years how many of them have taken up arms with the resistance? Weren’t there even germans who defected against the Nazis and joined the armed struggle against them?

Rule #1, don’t go telling everybody about it lmao
In her 70s? Either she’s a true believer or their pinning it on her.
