- Supreme Court President Amit advised Yair Golan to drop his Shin Bet security lawsuit.
- The court will not intervene in Shin Bet's security decisions for politicians.
- Golan's party awaits a proposed security plan before deciding on the lawsuit.
- The lawsuit was filed after Golan was denied security granted to Gadi Eisenkot.
- Police raised the threat level for both Golan and Eisenkot.
Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit has indicated to Yair Golan, leader of the Democraticim party, that the High Court of Justice (Bagatz) will not intervene in the Shin Bet's decisions regarding personal security for political figures. Amit recommended that Golan withdraw his lawsuit against Shin Bet head David Zini. The court granted a request from Democraticim attorney Omri Segev for the Shin Bet and state to inform him of the proposed security plan for Golan. The party will then decide whether to pursue the petition.
Last week, Democraticim filed a petition demanding that Shin Bet head David Zini immediately provide taxpayer-funded personal security for Golan. The lawsuit stems from the decision to grant personal security to Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, until the elections, while no such decision was made for Golan, despite police raising the threat level for both politicians to four out of six.
According to Kan news, Eisenkot himself has not yet received security from the Shin Bet, with a decision expected in the coming days.
