Israel's High Court of Justice is scheduled to hear a petition on Tuesday at 10:00 AM regarding security arrangements for Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party. The petition was filed by the Democrats party against the Head of the Shin Bet, David Zini, the Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs, and the Israeli government.
The party is demanding that security be assigned to its leaders, Yair Golan and Gadi Eisenkot, after the police classified the threat level against them as high, a level 4 out of 6. The petition includes examples of hundreds of serious threats directed at Golan recently, some of which were made after an interview given by Sara Netanyahu, the Prime Minister's wife.
Previously, an advisory political committee refrained from recommending security for Golan, and the Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs deferred the decision to the Shin Bet chief, Zini. During Tuesday's hearing, the state will be required to present its position and respond to the claims, represented by the head of the High Court department at the State Attorney's Office and Shin Bet representatives. The hearing will be presided over by Justice Yitzhak Amit.
