Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested earlier this month that his wife Sara Netanyahu and their two sons Avner and Yair receive lifelong Shin Bet security details, even when he is no longer prime minister, Walla news reports.
According to the report, Netanyahu approached the Advisory Committee for Personal Security with the request earlier this month, and was told that it would not be discussed further “at this time.”
The Prime Minister’s Office says in response that the Walla report is “full of lies and slander about the Netanyahu family and the prime minister.”
At the same time, Ynet reports that Yair Netanyahu, who has been in Miami, Florida since the outbreak of war in Gaza, was recently seen backpacking in Guatemala with two Shin Bet security guards in tow.
