Opposition leader and former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot is demanding personal security coverage effective immediately, according to a report. The specific reasons for the demand were not detailed in the report.
Gadi Eisenkot, the opposition leader and former IDF chief of staff, is demanding immediate personal security coverage, according to a report published Wednesday evening. The report did not specify whether the demand was directed at the Shin Bet, the Israel Police, or another agency, nor did it detail the reasoning behind the urgency.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, the chief of staff of Eisenkot's Yashar party formally requested armed security for him from Shin Bet Director David Zini and Police Commissioner Danny Levy, citing Iranian threats against senior Israeli officials. Earlier this week, The Zioneer also reported that Eisenkot is not currently receiving security coverage from the Shin Bet, leading his office to assign a personal guard independently.
The new demand for immediate security suggests that Eisenkot's office considers the existing arrangements insufficient. It remains unclear whether the Shin Bet or police have responded to the new request.
