The Democrats Petition High Court Demanding Shin Bet Protection for Yair Golan
The party asks the court to order the government and Shin Bet to provide immediate security for its leader following a raised threat assessment.
The Democrats party has petitioned the High Court of Justice demanding that the Israeli government and the Shin Bet security agency provide immediate protection for party leader Yair Golan, The Jerusalem Post and JDN reported.
According to the petition, Israel Police raised Golan's risk level to 4 on a six-point scale, a high rating identical to the assessment assigned to Yashar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot. The Democrats stated that the upgrade came in response to explicit and documented threats against Golan and his family.
Party officials argued that withholding Shin Bet security abandons his safety. A formal response from the government and the Shin Bet to the petition has not yet been submitted.
