Sara Netanyahu Requests Extension of Security Protection for Herself and Her Family, Israeli Security Refuses

Translation by SadaNews - Channel 12 Hebrew revealed this Monday evening that Sara Netanyahu, wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, requested from the ministerial protection committee of the Shabak security service to expand the security protection provided to her and her children for a period of 5 years, regardless of the results of the upcoming Knesset elections.

According to the channel, as translated by SadaNews, a meeting of the committee regarding the protection of ministers was supposed to be held tomorrow, but it has been postponed.

Sara Netanyahu stated that if military ministers automatically receive 5 years of protection after leaving their positions, then my children and I deserve that as well, given the fact that we are under threat.

According to two sources familiar with the details, these requests have faced strong opposition from the relevant authorities for weeks.

According to the sources, despite the current threats, especially during this complicated period in the war against Iran, setting a 5-year protection period now is not appropriate and does not rest on any basis.

It appears that the Shabak may request an extension of protection until the level of threat changes, without specifying a time frame.
