Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to hold a face-to-face meeting with Police Commissioner Dani Levy and Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, despite being informed by the Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, that the discussion would be by phone. Sohlberg had previously rejected a petition against holding the discussion, after noting Netanyahu's statement that the meeting would not address election preparations or integrity. In his decision, Sohlberg emphasized that all parties must adhere to their authorities regarding election matters.
The Likud party clarified that the discussion is intended to address security threats, following "extremely serious warnings regarding the intention of terror elements to thwart election day in Israel." They stated this is a continuation of a discussion held with all heads of the security establishment.
