David Zini, head of the Shin Bet, is expected to override professional recommendations within the agency and approve a legal opinion allowing extended security protection for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife after his term ends. According to a report by Channel 12 News, significant behind-the-scenes pressure came from Netanyahu’s close circle and his wife, who pushed for the move.
The professional advice suggested that the scope of security should be based solely on the assessed threat level, but Zini chose not to adopt this approach. It remains undecided whether the arrangement will grant lifelong security for Netanyahu and his wife, along with five years of protection for their children, or if a different plan will be implemented, such as providing security for the wife for only five years.
Reports indicate that Sara Netanyahu requested a security arrangement that would remain in place even if there is a change in government. The legal opinion Zini prepares is expected to be submitted to the ministerial committee, where it will likely receive approval from the government forum. Senior security officials commented, "This is not a fantasy, this is reality; Zini was appointed precisely for this moment." The Shin Bet has not issued an official response.
