Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family have requested that security and renovation work at their private residence continue even after he leaves office, according to a report by Channel 13. The demand was urgently submitted to the Ministerial Committee on Shin Bet Affairs. If approved, the state is expected to bear costs estimated in the tens of millions of shekels.
Sources familiar with the matter told Channel 13 that the push for this continuation is being led by Chief of Staff Ido Norden and Deputy Director-General of the Prime Minister's Office Dorit Steinmetz, acting on behalf of Prime Minister's wife Sara Netanyahu.
This development follows a recent report that the Ministerial Committee on Shin Bet Affairs convened to discuss enhanced security for the Netanyahu family should the Prime Minister leave his post. Previously, it was reported that Shin Bet head David Zini approved Sara Netanyahu's request for lifelong security, a decision reportedly influenced by pressure from her on Zini, which led to a modification of the service's professional opinion.
The Prime Minister's Office did not provide a response to the report.
