Police step up security around MK Smotrich after Knesset receives threat
Police place extra security around MK Bezalel Smotrich of the Union of Right-Wing Parties today after a man arrived at the Knesset the previous evening with a letter threatening to hurt him.
Smotrich confirms that he had been contacted by the Knesset Guard and informed of the decision to increase security around him and his family.
A police cruiser was assigned to patrol around his home on Tuesday morning, and officers accompanied him to his ballot station to vote earlier today.
