Reporter Slams Ofer Winter's Refusal of Shin Bet Security
Political correspondent Yaron Avraham expressed strong criticism on Thursday regarding Ofer Winter's announcement that he is renouncing Shin Bet security protection during the election period. Avraham questioned the decision, stating, "Tell me, what is this nonsense? If the Shin Bet decides you need security, you have security. "Renouncing personal security," "Young and strong enough", what is this, a kung fu competition at school?" he exclaimed angrily.
The statement from the 'Amcha Yisrael' party clarified that its chairman, Ofer Winter, announced he was foregoing the Security Cabinet's request to the Shin Bet to consider providing him with personal security. The Security Cabinet had previously authorized the head of the Shin Bet to decide on security arrangements for Gadi Eisenkot, Yair Golan, and Ofer Winter. Winter preemptively declared his refusal of any security, stating, "I am young and strong enough to protect myself. I do not need security, please save the money for more important things."
