What happened

01Shin Bet will now guard leaders of National Unity, Democratic Movement, and Amcha Israel parties.
02Gadi Eisenkot's security will be handled by a private firm under Shin Bet supervision.
03Yair Golan will receive state-funded security following a Supreme Court petition.
04The decision was made by the Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs.
05Shin Bet head David Zini will determine specific security arrangements for the three leaders.

This decision follows a prior announcement by the Shin Bet to provide intelligence support rather than direct guarding and comes after a petition to the Supreme Court regarding Yair Golan's security. The Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs granted the agency authority to determine these arrangements.
