Israel has requested an additional NIS 10.5 million to bolster the security detail for Minister of Science Gila Gamliel. The request comes after her security was already enhanced over the past year due to rising threats. The increased budget is intended to cover additional expenses stemming from an elevated risk assessment for the minister in 2026.
Official documents cite a worsening threat level against Gamliel over the last year, based on security assessments related to the ongoing war and other potential threats. The need for the supplementary funding is reportedly linked to intelligence evaluations concerning potential Iranian involvement.
There is an assessment that Iranian elements may be targeting Gamliel due to her reported connections with the Iranian Crown Prince. However, the report emphasizes that this remains an assessment and not a confirmed attribution of the threats' origin.
