Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested Monday that he, his family, or other top Israeli officials could become the victim of a Trump-inspired assassination attempt in the midst of the months-long war with Hamas.

“There is an incitement to violence and murder of elected officials here. It can happen because there is incitement to violence and murder of elected officials, of ministers, of the prime minister, of his family,” Mr. Netanyahu told an Israeli broadcaster Channel 14 on Monday when he was asked about the Trump assassination attempt on Saturday, according to a translation from Hebrew into English.
