Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu holds security meetings amid warnings and an assassination plot

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a series of security meetings with his war cabinet and top advisers. The meetings were called to discuss a 'classified topic' and came as the Israeli military chief warned Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Katz that a manpower crisis is undermining military readiness.

Separately, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said it foiled a plot to assassinate Netanyahu. In other news, Netanyahu told the parents of a hostage, Ran Gvili, that securing his return is a top priority.
