Journalist Barak Ravid reports, citing unnamed sources, that the Shin Bet is attempting to recruit protest activists, claiming it needs to 'calm the field' ahead of the upcoming elections. The report has not been confirmed by official sources.
According to an unreported claim by journalist Barak Ravid (also known as 'Breiner'), citing unnamed sources, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) is actively seeking to recruit protest activists under the justification of needing to 'calm the field' in the lead-up to elections. The report, which appeared on social media, has not been corroborated by any other source or confirmed by the Shin Bet. If true, the move would raise concerns about the security agency's role in domestic political affairs during an election period. The claim is currently unverifiable and remains at the level of an attributed allegation.
