The Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs will convene on Wednesday, September 16, to discuss providing state security to Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot.

Until a decision is reached, Eisenkot is using private security guards hired by his party. The issue of Eisenkot's security is being considered against the backdrop of the election campaign, highlighting his status as a political figure in need of additional security measures.
