Ministerial Committee on the Shin Bet to Discuss Protection of Government Sites and the Prime Minister's Residences

In depth

The Ministerial Committee on Shin Bet Affairs will convene tonight to discuss security preparations for the establishment of the new government. On the agenda is the question of protecting the sites that serve as symbols of government, as well as the prime minister's residences. The preparations are being carried out before the ministers are sworn in at the Knesset.

The committee's discussion will also address granting lifelong security to Sara Netanyahu, and extending security for Yair and Avner by five additional years. The discussion follows a professional opinion approved at the Shin Bet, and the ministers' approval of the move is now required.

The discussion concerns increased security for the Netanyahu family in the event that Benjamin Netanyahu is not prime minister. Security preparations are continuing in these days, and the committee is expected to decide on how these issues will be handled going forward.
