Israeli authorities have indicted a Jewish Israeli man for his involvement in an assassination plot against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials. The man, Moti Maman, 73, admitted to having a 'lapse of judgment' and is now cooperating with law enforcement.
Maman was arrested in August after Israeli police discovered that he had visited Iran twice to meet with intelligence officials who assigned him various tasks to carry out in Israel. During his most recent trip to Iran in August, Iranian intelligence allegedly proposed assassination plots against Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar.
