Shin Bet Chief David Zini has responded to a request from Sara Netanyahu, wife of the Prime Minister, by submitting an opinion supporting the continuation of her personal security detail for the long term, even after her husband's term ends. Officials close to Netanyahu argue that the exceptional security threats in the post-war era justify this extended protection. However, security sources clarify that Zini's opinion focused solely on the level of threat and did not determine the actual duration of the security detail. A special ministerial committee is expected to convene later tonight in Israel to discuss the matter further.
