Amid the progress of the legislation of the judicial reform and in light of the incidents of violence and incitement towards the government, Israel National News has learned that the security detail for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family members has been significantly increased recently, and he is currently receiving security at the maximum and highest level.

The Magen Unit, which is entrusted with the security of the ministers and deputy ministers, will also increase the security around them significantly in light of the threats.

The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) told Israel National News in response, "We do not comment on security arrangements."

At the cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu commented on the threats and said, “We will not accept anarchy. There are those who are calling for the blocking of highways, for refusal, for blood in the streets, and to attack public figures. We will not accept this. We will not accept violence – by any side.”

“I expect the Inspector General and the police to enforce the law, to prevent violence and the blocking of roads, and to allow the daily life of the citizens of the country. I expect the ISA and the State Attorney's Office to take determined action against those who incite to murder ministers and MKs, and the Prime Minister and his family, without turning a blind eye, without cutting slack and without cutting corners,” he added.

“I expect the IDF Chief-of-Staff and the heads of the security services to vigorously fight against refusal to serve. There is no place for refusal to serve in the public discourse. A state that values life cannot tolerate such phenomena and we will not tolerate them,” continued Netanyahu.
