Gantz appears with bodyguard following threats on social media

Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz was accompanied on a visit to Jerusalem today by a bodyguard following threats against the former military chief of staff on social media.

The development comes after Channel 12 news earlier this week quoted unnamed associates of Gantz warning of “grave incitement” against the prime ministerial hopeful on social media.
