Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there are indications that enemies may attack Israel ahead of the upcoming election. Opposition leader Yair Lapid, who was briefed on the matter, dismissed the warning. Separately, Israel's Attorney-General asked the Supreme Court to disqualify the leader of the Arab party Balad from running in the election over remarks made after the October 7 Hamas attack.
