Shin Bet VIP Unit to Guard Former IDF Chief Gadi Eisenkot
The Shin Bet's VIP protection unit will be responsible for securing Gadi Eisenkot, a former Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and current Member of Knesset (MK) for the National Unity party. The decision comes amid heightened security concerns, though specific threats against Eisenkot have not been detailed.
Eisenkot, who served as the 21st IDF Chief of Staff from 2015 to 2019, joined the political arena following the October 7th Hamas attacks. He is a prominent figure in the opposition and has been a vocal critic of the current government's policies, particularly concerning security and the handling of the ongoing conflict.
The Shin Bet's VIP protection unit typically guards high-ranking government officials, including the Prime Minister, President, and visiting dignitaries. The extension of its services to Eisenkot underscores the perceived level of risk associated with his public profile and political activities.
