Netanyahu Seeks Five-Year Security Extension for Family Post-Premiership
Benjamin Netanyahu wants to extend Shin Bet protection for the family of any former prime minister by five years after leaving office. This would ensure continued security for his wife, Sara, and their sons. A meeting of the Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs, chaired by Netanyahu, was postponed to allow input from security agencies on the proposal. It also considers expanding arrangements for former prime ministers themselves. Currently, families of former leaders Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid do not receive this protection. Supporters argue recent conflicts have increased threats and justify updated rules. Neither the Prime Minister’s Office nor the National Security Council has published a formal decision on the plan.
