Security measures around Naftali Bennett, chairman of the Together party, have been significantly enhanced. Bennett recently received an update from the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) indicating an increase in his security detail, now comparable to that provided to the Defense Minister. This decision, as reported by "Walla!", stems from recent threats and incidents, including an event during Bennett's visit to Bnei Brak. During a gathering in the city, a salt shaker was thrown at Bennett, hitting and injuring a female staff member who required medical attention. This incident is part of a pattern of friction observed at similar meetings across the country. Bennett has been actively campaigning in traditional Likud strongholds, attempting to sway supporters of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Additionally, reports from the past year detail foiled attempts by foreign cells to harm Bennett, linked to his actions against Iran during his premiership. Concerns about security have also been raised regarding Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yesh! party, and Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, whose parties have funded their security costs. In Bennett's case, his enhanced security is also attributed to his past roles, with the recent increase prompted by ongoing threats.
