"I am more secure than I was last week. I am very grateful to the Georgian side, because they prevented this terrible terrorist act against me," said the president of the Georgia-Israel Chamber of Commerce, Itsik Moshe, thus helping to prevent his assassination attempt.
According to Itsik Moshe, he was contacted by the President of Israel and asked to take care of himself.
"If I had felt all this, of course I would have informed the Georgian and Israeli parties. Until yesterday, I did not know what was happening around me. It doesn't take much to motivate the enemy, there is a lot of anti-Semitic action in the world against Israel, Jews in general, actions that are increasing by more than 50% per year. All Jews are at risk abroad. I received the first call from the President of Israel, who said that he is very proud of my work to take care of Israel and to take care of myself," Itsik Moshe said.
On November 15, the State Security Service released information stating that an attempt to kill an Israeli citizen planned by a criminal group in Georgia was detected and prevented by the Counterintelligence Department of the State Security Service.
According to their information, persons with dual citizenship of Pakistan and Iran-Georgia have been arrested as a result of the operative search measures and investigative activities.
