Israel's Supreme Court, led by President Yitzhak Amit, has proposed that Yair Golan withdraw his petition against the Shin Bet security agency concerning his personal security arrangements. The suggestion came after a closed-door, one-sided hearing attended by a Shin Bet representative.
During the hearing, Justice Amit acknowledged the significance of the issue raised by Golan, stating that the judges themselves are concerned about the problem he highlighted. Amit noted that the Shin Bet guides and will continue to guide the police regarding personnel and information, and that the agency can assist the police in specific incidents, emphasizing its ongoing work in personal security.
However, Amit explained that the court would not intervene in the operational work of professional bodies, describing them as having "mastery of their craft" in this area. He concluded by offering Golan the option to withdraw his petition.
The details of the one-sided hearing were not fully disclosed, beyond Amit's remarks on personnel, police directives, and potential assistance. It remains unclear whether Golan has accepted the court's proposal or what his next step will be regarding the legal proceedings.
