From a notice published this evening (Tuesday) by the office of the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gabir, it appears that an Arab suspect resident of East Jerusalem who planned to assassinate Minister Ben Gabir, was arrested a few weeks ago by the police and Shin Bet.
The suspect gathered intelligence on Minister Ben Gabir and his movement patterns.
His investigation revealed that he met with terrorist elements from a neighboring country and received funds from them to assist him in carrying out the attack, as well as transferring funds to the families of Palestinian prisoners.

His investigation reveals that the suspect planned to steal police license plates so that he could approach the minister's convoy and attack it in the Temple Mount area.
The investigation also shows that the terrorist intended to carry out another attack after the attack on flesh, in which he intended to kidnap a body in order to negotiate for a bargain.
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir: "I thank the members of the security forces and the police who protect me and guard my life. I will not be deterred by attempts to harm me and will continue to strive for a right-wing and strong security policy, defeat terrorism and return security and governance to the streets."
