Israel's Supreme Court has recommended that Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats Party, withdraw his petition concerning his security arrangements. The recommendation came after a closed-door session attended by a representative from the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency). President of the Supreme Court Yitzhak Amit acknowledged the significance of the issue Golan raised, stating that the court was and remains concerned. He explained that the Shin Bet guides and will continue to guide the police based on information provided by Golan. Amit added that the Shin Bet could assist Golan with the police in specific incidents, emphasizing that the agency is a professional body expert in security matters and that the court would not intervene in its decisions. The court's stance suggests a reluctance to overrule the security agency's professional judgment regarding personal security.
