Shin Bet Chief Says He Alone Denied Eisenkot Security Detail
TL;DR Summary
Shin Bet director David Zini says he alone decided against providing security protection to former IDF chief and Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot, even as Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed the Shin Bet to ensure protection. The Central Elections Committee said Zini informed it that the Shin Bet does not have intelligence indicating threats against Eisenkot, while Eisenkot’s camp argues the private security is insufficient amid rising threats. Security decisions are described as being made in accordance with law and ministerial oversight, with Yashar protesting the decision.
