Netanyahu Seeks to Extend Security for Former Prime Ministers' Families Amid War
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing to extend security protections for the families of former prime ministers for an additional five years. This move aims to maintain security coverage for his own family amid ongoing conflict. A ministerial committee responsible for Shin Bet affairs, chaired by Netanyahu, was scheduled to meet at 10:00 AM the following day to discuss the proposal. However, the meeting was postponed to await security agencies' assessments, including those from Shin Bet. Netanyahu and his associates argue that the current war has altered the security landscape and threats, necessitating changes to existing protection arrangements. The committee includes Justice Minister Yariv Levin, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and Education Minister Yoav Kish, all involved in the decision-making process regarding security provisions.
